CL Group Files Binding Bid for Papresa’s Two Units and Vows to Keep Over 70% of Jobs

A court-led liquidation leaves the sale open to other bidders under an administrator with a recent turnaround track record.

Overview

  • Papresa, a 220‑worker mill in Errenteria, entered voluntary insolvency and is now in court-led liquidation.
  • The court named PKF Attest as administrator, the same firm that helped resolve the Astilleros Balenciaga case.
  • CL Group, an industrial conglomerate from Extremadura, expanded an earlier packaging-only plan into a binding bid for both units.
  • The proposal says it would retain more than 70% of employees, which could save over 154 jobs and steady family incomes in the area.
  • The sale is not final, and other potential buyers may still submit offers as the administrator reviews options.
