The group Deceuninck, a manufacturer of PVC windows, is to cut 330 jobs by the end of 2009. Plants in Belgium, Poland, the United Kingdom and the United States will be affected. The group lost EUR 37.4 millions in 2008 due to the global economic crisis that hit hard the construction sector. The management expects better performance for 2010.
