Description

TitanX is a global company with three divisions that operates in Sweden and the USA. The focus is strategically oriented on medium and heavy duty diesel engine cooling solutions.

The notice of 95 employees altogether is mainly due to a decline in the market for truck manufacturers, which are the main customers for TitanX. First, the notice concerned 40 employees and then 55 more was added to the same notice. The head of the company still hopes that the notices will be able to be withdrawn if the market will improve, however the prospect of that does not look too good due to the financial recession.
