國際紙業英國關閉5廠裁300職位大動盪




國際紙業宣布關閉英國五個包裝廠房,年底前裁減至多300個職位

國際紙業(International Paper,紐約證券交易所代號:IP)於星期五表示,計劃在年底前關閉英國五個包裝工廠,並裁減最多300個工作崗位,這是繼與DS Smith合併完成後的最新調整措施。

這家紙漿及紙品公司指出,這些關閉工廠的決定,是為了提升營運效率,並應對市場環境嚴峻下客戶需求的變化。除了關閉工廠,國際紙業還建議將一個工廠遷移,將另一個工廠的運作時間由全天候7天縮短至每週5天,另外兩個工廠則會進行小規模的人手調整。

國際紙業在聲明中表示:「儘管這些建議源自於英國業務的策略性檢討,但它們同時是對DS Smith合併文件中所述意向的更新。」

國際紙業於2025年1月31日完成與DS Smith的全股合併,該交易是根據2006年《公司法》第26部分通過安排方案實行。

評論與分析

這次國際紙業在英國的重組行動,反映出全球紙品包裝行業正面臨結構性調整的壓力。隨著市場需求變化和經濟環境的不確定性,企業不得不重新評估其生產基地和運營模式,以保持競爭力。關閉多個廠房及裁員,雖然短期內有助於降低成本,但對當地勞工和社區的影響不可忽視。

從策略角度來看,國際紙業與DS Smith的合併本意在整合資源、擴大市場份額和提升效率。然而,合併後迅速進行裁減和運營調整,可能顯示出兩家公司整合過程中發現了業務重疊或效率不高的環節。這也提醒我們,企業合併不僅是規模的簡單相加,還涉及深層次的業務重塑與結構優化。

此外,將部分工廠的運作時間從24小時7天縮短至24小時5天,意味著企業正在尋找更靈活的生產方案,可能是因應需求波動或人力資源管理的調整。這種變化能否長遠提升效率,還需持續觀察。

總括而言,這次調整是國際紙業面對市場變化和合併後整合挑戰的一步,但也突顯了傳統製造業在現今經濟環境中的轉型壓力。未來企業如何平衡成本控制與員工福祉,並在不斷變化的市場中保持競爭力,將是持續關注的焦點。
