Trelleborg, a firm that operates in the motor sector, is to close its site in Mörbylånga with the loss of 110 jobs. 40 of the jobs lost will be 'outsourced' to the Swedish town of Forsheda, whilst another 70 will be 'offshored' to Estonia. The plant in Mörbylånga produces trailers. Firms that purchase the trailers include Scania and Volvo.
