Description
The British arms and surveillance group BAE Systems will halt its activities in Nørresundby in North Jutland by June 2018, resulting in the loss of around 160 jobs. The Danish department produces surveillance and data processing systems for police and intelligence services, and is part of the BAE Systems subsidiary Detica.
BAE Systems headquarters in England have confirmed that the subsidiary in Nørresundby is to be closed and its activities moved to the UK.
Half of the positions that will disappear from BAE Systems in Nørresundby are held by members of the Danish Society of Engineers (IDA), but the organisation has not yet commented on the closure.
Back in August 2013, the company fired every fourth employee at Nørresundby.
Overall, the BAE Systems has over 83,000 employees worldwide.
