M-real announced in December last year plans to improve Speciality Papers business area's profitability. The main measures were stated to be the planned closures of two speciality paper machines in Reflex mill and the streamlining of the organizations in both Gohrsmühle and Reflex mills. Negotiations to implement the planned measures started in January, and the negotiations have now been finalized resulting in a reduction of 220 jobs at the Gohrsmühle and Reflex mills. This represents an about 20 percent reduction of the total workforce. The implementation of the personnel reduction is ongoing, and it will be finalized by the end of 2010.In the future, the Reflex mill will be developed based on a "paper park concept." The target is to find industrial partnerships with other producers and thus create new jobs at the site. In Gohrsmühle the share of speciality papers of the total product portfolio will continue to increase.
