Description

IT services firm Atos Information Technology will close its site in Frankfurt (Hesse) by the end of September 2014 and thus make 300 staff redundant.

According to a spokesperson, the site is no longer competitive. As a result of a lack of orders, about 10% of the employees are not working to capacity right now.

The company announced talks with worker representatives.

Atos is based in France.
