📄 **申報類型**：8-K（重大事件報告）
**事件摘要**：
Mercer Torgau GmbH & Co. KG（位於德國托爾高的木材加工廠）於2026年7月14日發佈新聞稿，宣佈採取一系列戰略行動，以應對當前市場環境，調整產能及營運規模。該公司受全球經濟不確定性、原材料及能源成本高企影響，決定進行組織與流程精簡，並調整產品組合，目標是確保廠房長期經濟可行性。
**關鍵數字**：
- 預計於2026年7月先裁減約100名合約員工。
- 整體計劃削減約350個職位。
- 戰略行動已啟動，預計分階段實施，2027年第二季度前完成。
**管理層展望**：
董事總經理 Dr. Carsten Merforth 表示，公司已採取多項措施提升營運效率，包括大規模投資現代化生產設施，但面對持續市場壓力，現階段仍有必要推行額外重組方案以確保未來可持續發展。他強調會與員工代表協調，以負責任的方式完成裁員，並減輕對員工及地區持份者的影響。
**對投資者的潛在影響**：
短期內重組成本及裁員可能影響盈利表現，但長遠有助提升成本競爭力及營運效率，改善托爾高廠房的財務健康狀況。投資者需關注後續季度財報中重組開支及產能利用率變化。
📌 註：該公司為全球最大歐標托盤（EPAL）生產商之一，產品涵蓋建築及包裝用木材、木屑顆粒、園藝產品等，並自產再生電力。
