On 12 May 2009 Doorwin, a Dutch company specialized in the production and sales of window-frames, doors and windows, announced it will cut 110 jobs by concentrating its activities in Friesland (in the northeast of the Netherlands). 85 jobs will be lost in the south-east regions and another 25 in the north-west regions. As of May 2009, no date has been given for the implementation of the job losses.
