Swedish specialty steel producer SSAB will implement temporary layoffs at its Hameenlinna and Kankaanpaa plants in Finland due to weak demand in the construction industry, according to a report by Reuters.

The number of employees which will be laid off beginning from September will depend on demand and local circumstances.
