Producer of landing gear solutions Goodrich Aerospace Poland, a subsidiary of Collins Aerospace, announced that it will cut 226 jobs through a collective dismissal programme. The programme will be implemented at two company locations (Tajęcina and Krosno) by the end of September 2020.It is closing its foundry in Stalowa Wola and concentrating its production in Piotrków Trybunalski, which will result in the loss of 126 jobs.
