Description

Celanese, a manufacturer of cigarette filters, has announced plans to shut part of a factory in Spondon with the loss of 350 jobs. Under a £8m investment instead the part making wrapping film unit will stay, saving 70 jobs. The cuts are blamed on high operating costs while most of the jobs are likely to go by the end of the year.
