Metso temporarily lays off personnel in Tampere, Finland

Thursday 19. February 2009 - Metso has concluded the employee negotiations initiated on January 12, 2009 regarding temporary lay-offs at their conveyor belt factory in Tampere, Finland.

The measures are caused by the weakening of the global market situation, which has led to decrease in the order backlog.

The temporary lay-off notice applied to 40 employees in production. In addition, one person was reduced.

The personnel negotiations were concluded on February 16, 2009.

The temporary lay-offs will begin in the beginning of March. The duration of the lay-offs will be 24-26 days.
