Layoffs for Rejlers in Sweden


In conjunction with the presentation of the Year-end report, CEO Peter Rejler
informed about measures in restoring profitability to Rejlers Sweden. Swedish
management has prepared a plan of action calling for layoffs of 125 employees.
All were notified this morning.
Rejlers Sweden has seen decreased demand in certain industrial sectors for quite
some time. The nuclear power sector’s sudden slowdown, saving program in the
mining industry and the substantial pressure to lower prices in the
manufacturing sector have also had an effect in determining appropriate
corrective actions. With the action plan, the company aims to improve
profitability. The layoffs primarily concern staff at the Technology business
area.
“We have for some time had profitability problems in parts of the business area
Technology. This is a necessary measure, even if it is unfortunate that we have
to lay off coworkers,” says Jonas Thimber, CEO for Rejlers Sweden. Negotiations
with the union organizations begins within a week.
