Plastic solutions manufacturing company Euroform announced its plans to dismiss 45 employees in the two production plants in Tranås, Småland. The company plans to finalise the restructuring event by 1 February 2020. The decision reportedly aims at increasing profitability. According to management, the company employs too many people in relation to production rates, which is expected to further decrease as a result of the trucking industry's decreased demand for plastic products.
