Description

Truck part producer Polytec closes and relocates its Automotive Composites Division from Ljungby, Sweden, to Germany cutting 116 out of 140 jobs. This is due to the low number of orders received by the truck manufacturers to whom Polytec supplies components. The relocation will be carried out gradually during 2009.
