Description
The electronic component producer Partnertech is going to cut 100 out of 450 jobs at its plant Åtvidaberg. The redundancy plan, which is expected to be fully implemented by the second half of 2007, is the consequence of the production slowdown resulting from the fulfillment of major order contracts in 2006 and in the beginning of 2007. Negotiations with trade unions are expected to start soon.
