Media Print shop in Zofingen AG with 20 jobs to close

The SharePrint print shop in Zofingen AG is about to close. ZT Medien AG and SWS Medien AG from the canton of Lucerne are selling their printing business to the Merkur Group from Langenthal BE, as they announced on Monday. In this context, the closure of the printing plant with 20 jobs is being examined.

The SharePrint AG printing center in Zofingen is jointly owned by SWS Medien AG in Willisau/Sursee LU and Zofinger ZT Medien AG, it was reported. The two partners wanted to give up the printing business for economic reasons.

This will lead to redundancies for five to six people for the time being. The print shop is located in Zofingen, at the headquarters of ZT Medien AG, which publishes the "Zofinger Tagblatt".

On January 1, 2025, the printing business will be transferred to the Merkur Group in Langenthal, it was reported. The plans to close SharePrint AG have resulted in a consultation process. The final decision by the Board of Directors will be made on August 28, 2024. 20 employees would be affected.
