The Karl Group plans to establish new businesses on the premises of the former paper mill within the next three to five years. "Our aim was to identify development ideas and business opportunities for the site," said Hartmut Wurster, who represented UPM in the negotiations. "The sale to Karl Group opens up new economic perspectives for the whole region."
Meanwhile, more than 200 former paper mill employees have found new jobs supported by the transfer company funded by UPM.
