Description
Swedish kitchen manufacturer Nobia announced on September 7 2010 that the installation and distribution units of the kitchen brand Myresjökök will be moved from Älmhult, Sweden to Tidaholm, Sweden. As a consequence, 100 jobs will be ended in Älmhult. 60 new recruitments will be done in Tidaholm. The reason for the transmission is to strengthen the competitiveness by pursuing fewer and larger production units. The relocation will proceed gradually as of November 2010.
