Machinery manufacturer Oystar is to cut 200 jobs in Germany. The job reduction is due to a forecasted reduction in sales by 13% in 2010. As of 22 December 2009, there is no information about when the job losses will be implemented and what sites will be affected. Oystar employs 2500 people worldwide.
