美卓完成造纸业务的法定谈判

美卓公司于当地时间2013年9月18日上午10点在证券交易所发布消息,美卓的纸浆、造纸和电力部门已经完成了与造纸行业大多数单位的法定谈判。因此,芬兰的员工总数将减少660个职位。此次谈判是美卓2013年4月推出的全球成本竞争力计划的一部分(2013年4月23日证券交易所发布),以适应市场的变化。该计划的目标是,到2016年,纸浆、造纸和电力部门的年度成本降低约1亿欧元。在这一阶段,裁员的目的是实现每年节省约5000万欧元的成本。2013年的成本节约估计为500万欧元。根据谈判结果,美卓将裁员660人。原来的估计数是裁减750个职位。裁员将通过裁员、退休和终止临时合同的方式进行。内部转移也会发生。 The impact of the reductions on the different Metso locations will be determined soon, after details of how many employees will transfer to other locations within the company are known. Statutory negotiations covering Finnish operations in the company's EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) area organization are continuing. In addition to personnel reductions, temporary layoffs might also be possible if required by the business' workload or financial situation. This possibility will remain in force until the end of 2014, by which time the situation will have been reviewed. The possibility of temporary layoffs affects all units serving the paper industry. Metso will provide a range of support measures for those affected by the restructuring through its "Polku" employment support program, which includes support for entrepreneurship, studying, re-employment, such as job-to-job training, and relocation support. "These personnel reductions are necessary to adjust our capacity in the Paper business to meet the fundamental structural changes that have taken place in our operating environment. Working together with personnel representatives, we are actively seeking to soften the impact of the reductions with the help of our wide-ranging employment support program," says Pasi Laine, President of Metso's Pulp, Paper and Power segment. Metso's pulp, paper and power professionals specialize in processes, machinery, equipment, services, paper machine clothing and filter fabrics. Our offering and experience cover the entire process life cycle including new production lines, rebuilds and services. As of January 2014, Metso's Pulp, Paper and Power business will serve its customers with an even more focused and competitive approach as an independent, listed company, Valmet Corporation*. * Pending Metso EGM approval.
