Description
Russian producer of primary aluminium Kubal announced to cut 60 positions at its site in Sundsvall.
This is part of an adaption to an international crisis in the aluminium industry, requiring Kubal to close 120 of its 300 smelters. According to the company, there is no full closure of the site planned. However, another 100 jobs might be cut at the same plant by the end of September, if no alternative solution to the crisis is found.
In 2008, the ERM reported on previous internal restructuring at Kubal.
