Finnish industrial group Metso Group's Metso Foundries Jyväskylä, Inc. will begin personnel negotiations on temporary layoffs and personnel reductions in Jyväskylä, Finland. The measures will affect the entire personnel, a total of about 240 employees in all personnel groups. The maximum personnel reduction need is estimated to be 110 person-workyears.
The negotiations will be concluded in August 2010, and the effects on the personnel are estimated to be realized by March 2011. The layoff and reduction needs are related to the goal of agreeing on ways to adjust to the weakened global market situation for deliveries mainly outside Metso.
Metso Foundries Jyväskylä produces hand-molded iron castings for Metso and outside customers.
