In its Q3\/2025 results, Mayr-Melnhof Karton (MM) announced the closure of a cartonboard mill in Turkey and at the same time emphasised investments in the Romanian site. Both measures are part of the Group-wide Fit for Future (FFF) programme, which aims to increase efficiency, optimise capacity and achieve sustainable growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The plant in Turkey will be shut down due to ongoing structural overcapacity and weak demand. MM justifies the decision with a consolidation of production capacities in the Board & Paper division in order to improve the capacity utilisation of the other plants.<\/p>\n

Expansion in Romania<\/h3>\n

At the same time, MM is strengthening its activities in Romania: The site there is to be expanded as an important production and export hub in south-east Europe. Investments in modern processing facilities and efficiency improvements are planned in order to serve both regional demand and growing export markets - particularly in the food & premium packaging sector.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

MM is thus clearly positioning itself for further growth in the region and creating a strategic balance between capacity reduction and targeted expansion of efficient locations.<\/p>\n

Business performance Q1-Q3\/2025<\/h3>\n

In the first nine months, the Group generated sales of EUR 2,979.5 million (-2.9 %) and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 320.3 million (+8.3 %). The adjusted operating margin rose to EUR 5.1 1TP3 thousand (previous year: EUR 4.1 1TP3 thousand).<\/p>\n

Net profit for the period increased to EUR 166.5 million, mainly due to the gain on disposal from the TANN sale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Outlook<\/h3>\n

In view of the persistently weak market environment and strong competition from imports, MM is continuing to focus on efficiency measures and site optimisation.<\/p>\n

By closing the plant in Turkey and strengthening the Romanian site, the Group aims to secure its long-term competitiveness and implement the FFF programme as planned.<\/p>\n
