UPM Sells Former Plattling Paper Mill Site to Bayernhafen GmbH

On 14 October 2025, UPM officially announced the sale of its former paper mill site in Plattling, Germany, to Bayernhafen GmbH & Co. KG. The 52-hectare site, after over 40 years of paper production, is set to be transformed into InfraPark Plattling Stephansposching, a modern logistics and industrial park emphasizing rail-based freight transport, circular economy, and regional employment growth. The development is expected to create approximately 400 new jobs over the next five years, fostering local economic revitalization. UPM will maintain a connection to the site through operation of the combined cycle power plant, which ensures a reliable energy supply with a thermal input of 293 MW and an installed capacity of 125 MW. The transaction concluded following a two-and-a-half-year transition characterized by cooperation, transparency, and responsible site closure management involving local government leaders and community stakeholders.
