4 May 2010, Helsinki – Nonwovens and speciality papers group
Ahlstrom is to consolidate its nonwoven wipes fabrics manufacturing platform in
Italy, with the aim of increasing capacity, efficiency and breadth of product
range, the company said in a statement today.
Ahlstrom says the production of wipes will be located in two
out of three existing manufacturing sites, Mozzate and Cressa, while the Carbonate
plant will be closed. All the plants are located in the Milan region and belong
to the group’s Home & Personal Nonwovens business area.
The company says the consolidation will not have any major
impact on personnel or cause significant non-recurring costs. The company plans
to complete the project by early 2011.
