Metso to lay-off personnel in metal recycling operations in Germany
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on March 8, 2010 at 11 a.m. local time
Metso has concluded negotiations with the workers council about lay-offs in
Metso´s metal recycling business. All personnel categories in Metso´s unit in
Düsseldorf, Germany are affected by the reductions, altogether 115 people.
The primary reason for the lay-offs is that the demand for metal recycling
equipments is weak due to the low scrap metal prices and decrease in steel
production in Europe and North America. The reductions are part of the process
to streamline the Metso's metal recycling business operations and structure, in
order to improve competitiveness in a changing business environment.
Metso's Metal Recycling business unit provides solutions including equipment and
services for metal recycling to the recycling, steel and automotive industry.
Currently approximately 500 persons are employed in metal recycling business in
Düsseldorf. Globally Metso's recycling business employs approximately 800
persons.
Metso is a global supplier of sustainable technology and services for mining,
construction, power generation, automation, recycling and the pulp and paper
industries. We have about 27,000 employees in more than 50 countries.
