Description
The mineral and metal processing technology company Outotec is planning to cut 120 jobs in Finland.

Part of these savings will be achieved through organizational restructuring. Initial personnel reduction estimate is globally 170 employees, of which approximately 120 employees in Finland. The restructuring will lead to one-time provisions of maximum EUR 20 million during the first half of 2010.
Update 30-03-2010: The final cut figure is 120. Of the reductions, 84 will be conducted right away and the rest by the end of 2010.
