Description

Electrolux will close its stove manufacturing plant in Motala and cut some 240 jobs by 2011. Production will be transferred to existing facilities in Poland.

Electrolux has opened up for external manufacturers to produce stoves at the Motala plant. This could save some 70 jobs. As of January 2010, no external manufacturer has shown interest.
