Upetrom 1 Mai Ploiesti, a supplier of equipment and services for the petroleum and gas industry, announced the dismissal of 600 persons by the end of 2009. The job reduction accounts for a quarter of its total workforce. The decision is part of a restructuring program and is attributed to a drastic reduction in orders.
