Administrators close three Celloglass sites, 42 jobs to go

Administrators for failed finisher Celloglas have announced the closure of three facilities.

Celloglas's London (Acton), Birmingham and Gloucester sites have been closed by administrator MCR, with 42 employees being made redundant.

The company went into administration on 5 January this year, before five sites were bought back by Celloglas directors in a pre-pack deal.

MCR said it is still hopeful of finding a buyer or buyers for the remaining sites in Bristol, Sevenoaks, Manchester and Dorset.

A spokesman for MCR told PrintWeek: "Unfortunately it has been necessary to close Acton, Birmingham and Gloucester as a result of limited interest being shown in these sites. The closures have resulted in a further 42 redundancies."

He said the Gloucester facility had received some interest but that this had fallen away and was therefore closed today.
