Description

PKC Eesti, which manufactures wiring harnesses for motor vehicles, is to dismiss 112 workers in Keila and 40 in Haapsalu. The dismissals are due to declining demand in the motor-vehicle industry. PKC Eesti is a subsidiary of the Finnish PKC Group. All the personnel groups in the company will be affected. The company´s management claim that the factories will not be closed down in the near future, but that production volumes will be decreased.
