International Paper announced on May 23, 2025, its decision to close five packaging sites in Britain. This move is expected to result in the elimination of approximately 300 jobs, citing tough industry conditions as the primary reason.
The closures are part of the company's ongoing efforts to streamline its operations and adapt to market demands. These actions reflect a strategic focus on optimizing its European footprint following the recent acquisition of DS Smith.
The company is working to minimize the impact on affected employees, offering support and assistance during this transition. This decision is a significant operational adjustment for International Paper's UK presence.
