In November, Komax Systems SA will adjust the structure at its La Chaux-de-Fonds
site in order to continue improving productivity and thus also further increase
its competitiveness against the background of persistently volatile markets.
Around 15 jobs will be affected by the planned reorganization. Accompanying
measures are planned to cushion the effects of job cuts for the employees
concerned.
