Description

Huntsman Pigments, a division of the chemical company Huntsman Corporation, has initiated employer-employee negotiations as part of a major savings program that will lead to the reduction of maximum 150 positions in Pori, Finland. 

The American-owned Huntsman Corporation purchased the facilities in Pori 2013. The plant employs a total of 550 people.
