Description
Carlsberg, a Danish beer brewery, will reduce its workforce by 130 employees between 2012 and 2014. The cuts will be made in its warehouse operations. Carlsberg will invest in an automated warehouse in Falkenberg, which will lead to 55 redundancies in Bromma and 75 in Falkenberg.
Reason for the cuts is increased automation.
The Carlsberg group, founded in 1847, is headquartered in Copenhagen and employs approximately 45,000 people.
