Description

290 jobs will be shed on the production site of Grenzach, formerly owned by the Roche Group. A strong competition (among others from countries like India, China or Korea) makes this restructuring unavoidable. There is social agreement on this restructuring programme, named VITAL, that will be implemented during the next two years.
