EB, ELEKTROBIT CORPORATION STARTS PERSONNEL NEGOTIATIONS TO TEMPORARILY DISMISS
A MAXIMUM OF 200 EMPLOYEES IN FINLAND
EB, Elektrobit Corporation has today announced that it starts personnel
negotiations to adjust its cost level in the second half of 2010 to correspond
its temporarily decreased order volumes. The negotiations concern 517 employees
working in Elektrobit Wireless Communications Ltd and Elektrobit Corporation in
Finland.
The temporary dismissals target to cost savings of EUR 1.7 million in the second
half of 2010. To achieve the targeted savings EB proposes to temporarily dismiss
a maximum of 200 employees for maximum of 90 days. This measure has no effect on
the outlook for the first half of 2010 as announced in April 29, 2010. EB will
give the outlook for the second half of 2010 in context with the interim report
January-June 2010.
The decrease of order volumes is caused by i.a. a cancellation of a customer
project and uncertainty of new customer projects' realization and timing in
Wireless Solutions business. This measure has no direct impact on EB's customer
work or on Wireless Solutions business strategy.
"Since the situation is not caused by a permanent decrease in demand, we believe
that by strengthening our sales efforts our order volume will improve. EB's
personnel is very skillful and with the temporary dismissals we intend to find a
solution to this situation" says Ari Virtanen, Executive Vice President,
Wireless Solutions.
