SCANFIL PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 21 February 2012 2:00 P.M.
SCANFIL PLC’S SUBSIDIARY, SCANFIL EMS OY, STARTS EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE NEGOTIATIONS AT SIEVI PLANT
Scanfil plc’s subsidiary, Scanfil EMS Oy, has today invited representatives of different personnel groups of Sievi plant to statutory employer-employee negotiations due to production and financial reasons and business restructuring.
The reason for the negotiations is the low profitability of the Sievi plant and the resulting need for adjusting and reorganising the unit’s operations in order to ensure the prerequisites for operating in a financially profitable way.
According to a tentative estimate, the planned measures will result in changes in the duties and operations as well as in layoffs of approximately 90 workers, clerical employees, and professional and managerial staff.
