Borås Wäfveri, which employs 5600 people, whereof 85% in Sweden, has decided to cut 80 jobs. Part of the production will be relocated from the present plant in Borås to another plant in Estonia. The production of textile products with high technological content will continue in Borås, where 100 jobs are expected be maintained.
