Historic Mühle Rüningen mill to close after 700 years of operation
Mühle Rüningen, a company with over 700 years of history, will close its Salzgitter-Ringelheim mill by the end of the year. The decision affects 30 jobs but aims to secure the future of the remaining workforce. Managing Director Ludwig de Mot confirmed the move ensures long-term stability for the business. The executive board announced the shutdown due to excess capacity at the Mühlen-Mark site and fierce competition in the milling industry. Production will continue until the closure date, with operations winding down gradually.
Dossche Mills, a Belgian family-owned firm, acquired Mühle Rüningen in late 2024. The decision aligns with a broader strategy to consolidate and strengthen the company’s German presence, particularly in Braunschweig. The closure impacts only the Salzgitter-Ringelheim site, while four other mills—Braunschweig, Celle, Itzehoe, and Gelsenkirchen—will remain operational. Across Germany, Mühle Rüningen employs around 250 people, with roughly 100 based at the Rüningen headquarters.
The shutdown will reduce the workforce by 30 positions. However, the remaining sites will continue production, maintaining the company’s output. Mühle Rüningen’s focus now shifts to reinforcing its core locations in Germany.
