Case narrative: 

RDM group is an Italian manufacturer of cartonboard and cardboard mainly made from recycled materials. It owns manufacturing plants in Italy, France and Germany.  Over the last years, the company has enlarged its products portfolio, and has realized important investments in the Italian site in Santa Giustina. In 2017, it decided to relocate the production of "Serviboard", a particular type of extra fine patinated cardboard, from Germany to Santa Giustina. The decision is part of a wider reorganization of the company's production networks aimed to specialize different plants and enlarge the products range. More specifically, the Santa Giustina facility will permit to produce more product variants (in terms of weight per meter) and to make the supply less risky.
