Rottneros AB (publ) announced that redundancy negotiations at Rottneros Mill finalized. The decision to shut down the groundwood pulp line for printing paper at Rottneros Mill, led to a notice to reduce the number of employees by 40 people. The negotiations are finalized and 35 people will be made redundant.

Of these, 17 employees have agreed to a pension solution and 18 have been dismissed. A total of 35 people will be made redundant when the new organization will be in effect from the turn of the year. The parties also agreed that those who turn 60 in 2022, or are older, would be offered a pension solution.

An offer that all 17 concerned have accepted. This has led to only 18 people being made redundant. In connection with the notice given to the municipal Employment Service, Rottneros also initiated contact with the employment transition fund Trygghetsfonden.

Those who have been made redundant will now be offered support to move on to another job or further studies. Trygghetsfonden provides individually adapted solutions.
