UPM Plywood and the Industrial Union have signed a business specific collective labour agreement for UPM Plywood. The new agreement is valid for three years starting from 1.1.2022. The new agreement enables mills to continue production on all weekdays with terms that are satisfactory to both parties. The production output and the employees’ earnings will grow based on the new agreement. In addition, more people will be recruited to the mills. The agreement makes continuous seven-day shift model possible, and this means less working hours compared to the current discontinuous model, and the new agreement allows a shift model that is more employee-friendly. The agreement enables faster reaction to demand peaks thanks to flexible working hours, and it includes mutually agreed terms for production during holidays. Furthermore, a model for temporary work at other UPM Plywood mills was agreed on improving on-the-job learning and development as well as employees’ earnings.
Mativ Third Quarter 2023 Highlights (Continuing Operations) *Sales decreased 9.7% to $498.2 million, reflecting lower volume partly offset by higher selling prices and currency translation *GAAP loss was $464.3 million, GAAP EPS was $(8.50). Results included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $401.0 million and $24.3 million related to asset write-downs and the planned divestiture of Engineered Papers
Commenting on the group’s results, Sappi Chief Executive Officer Steve Binnie said: “Following a strong last quarter, I am pleased we were able to exceed our expectations for the year with Adjusted EBITDA* of US$684 million for the year ended September 2024. Our strong performance occurred against the backdrop of the subdued macroeconomic environment, ongoing low consumer confidence, and persistent geopolitical uncertainty. A key highlight was the pulp segment’s strong performance, driving record profitability for the South African region. However, paper markets remained subdued, with the expected recovery in demand after the prolonged destocking phase of 2023 unfolding slower than anticipated. Significant fixed costs savings were achieved through our strategic rationalisation actions.”
