Constantia Flexibles to close plant in Romania

Its Food Europe division has 12 production sites in eight countries, serving the dairy, processed meat and confectionery/processed food industries. Constantia Flexibles will continue to serve its customers from the confectionery and snack industries from its qualified, large-scale plants in Weiden, Germany; Ankara, Turkey; and Kleszczów, Poland.

The closure of the plant In Romania is expected to be finalized by July 2017 and will affect about 90 employees.

Stefan Grote, executive vice president of Constantia Flexibles Food Europe, explained: ‘We will carry out this closure in a fair and socially responsible way, while at the same time ensuring that our valued customers experience no disruption in supply.

‘The transfer of production capacities will also mean we can offer a dedicated plant concept to our customers in the long-term, thus optimizing order placement, production scheduling, logistics and quality.’
