Description

151 jobs will be lost at Trivselhus, a Swedish company producing prefabricated wooden houses. The notices are due to a declining market for pre-fabricated houses. The buyers do not dare to buy houses when the financial market is as unstable as it is, according to Andreas Ek, CEO of Trivselhus.

Trivselhus is one of the leading companies in Sweden producing prefabricated wooden houses. Their main market is Sweden but they also export to Norway, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and England.
