Description
Valmet Automotive, the only manufacturer of passenger cars in Finland, has announced a hiring of additional 300 employees during 2013-2014. The expansion is due to a contract between Daimler and Valmet to manufacture over 100,000 Mercedes Benz cars in Valmet's Uusikaupunki plant during 2013-2016. The company will also reactivate employees who have been laid off temporarily. For information on a previous restructuring case see Valmet Automotive 2011.
