Description
Finndomo is the largest manufacturer of small houses in the Nordic countries with a turnover of €215 million . The company has four factories in Sweden but the one in Hultsfred now will close. The reason for the restructuring is dramatically decreased sales, a 46 % reduction in the last quarter of 2008 alone.
In Hultsfred, the entire workforce of 66 employees will lose their jobs, five white-collar and the remainder blue-collar. In Hjältevad, 25 blue-collar workers of the 125 employees will lose their jobs. In Hässleholm, the factory's workforce of 220 will be reduced with the loss of 25 bluecollar jobs.
