Ahlstrom plans to close its plant in Barcelona
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Ahlstrom Corporation STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE May 31, 2012 at 11.00
Ahlstrom, a global high performance materials company, plans to close its plant
in Barcelona, Spain. The plant, which manufactures products for advanced and
transportation filtration businesses, has suffered from continued weakening
demand in Southern Europe. The company estimates that about 30 employees will be
affected starting from the second half of 2012.
The Barcelona plant, part of the Filtration business area, is one of the
Ahlstrom's smallest production units. The plant has a saturator and a converter
unit for materials used in transportation and advanced filtration applications.
In the future, customers will be served from Ahlstrom's other plants.
The measures taken by Ahlstrom to improve the efficiency at the plant have
unfortunately not proved sufficient. The company will make every effort in
supporting employees affected by the changes.
