The company implemented internal restructure due to excess workforce and a disappointing operational result. Some 120 employees will be confronted with forced dismissal. The remaining job losses will be effected through the scrapping of flexible jobs (temp workers and employees with a fixed term contract), retirement and voluntary leave.
