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>

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
