Mayr-Melnhof Packaging, Vienna, Austria, this week announced that it will close its packaging plant in Liverpool, England. The company notes that "in recent years, the team in Liverpool has worked hard to improve the plant's competitiveness, to keep production at the site. However, the economic situation, latest market developments and the demands of MM-Packaging's customers have finally led to this difficult decision."
The factory in Liverpool has most recently employed a total of 109 employees.
Customers are not affected by this measure, MM Packaging says, as they are now being supplied by other parts of the European MMP production network.
Mayr-Melnhof Packaging, the packaging division of MM Group, is the European market leader in folding cartons. As of Dec. 31, 2011, the Mayr-Melnhof Group employed about 8,900 people.
