Paulig Restructures Business Amid Potential Job Cuts
Finnish food-and-beverage group Paulig is restructuring its business to enhance competitiveness, growth, and profitability in a changing market. The reorganization will create three new divisions—Branded Foods, Customer Brands, and Coffee—to replace the current structure by January at the latest. Up to 55 redundancies could occur among approximately 110 office or managerial roles across affected countries. Paulig CEO Rolf Ladau emphasized that these changes are essential for maintaining competitiveness and delivering on growth strategy goals. The coffee division will be separated due to its unique market dynamics, including green coffee price volatility and climate-related challenges. Paulig clarified the reorganization does not involve selling any business units but aims to better focus resources. In 2025, food categories generated over €1 billion in sales, driven by Branded Foods brands like Santa Maria and Conimex. Revenue for that year rose 16% to €1.39 billion with an EBITDA of €146.8 million. However, net profit declined slightly from €65.8 million to €55.1 million.
