Saab Dynamics in Karlskoga will shed 70 jobs – implementing efficiency measure previously announced
Monday, 02 September 2013
Defence group Saab wants to do away with 70 employees in the
business area Dynamics based in Karlskoga. The reason is the decline in
orders. The negotiations will start today with workers and their
representatives.
In conjunction with Saab’s interim report January-June 2013, on July
19, it was announced that efficiency measures would be implemented
during 2013.
Today came the news of cutbacks according to a press release from the
company, which wrote of “the notice that is currently sent in Karlskoga
is necessary to create conditions for achieving the Company’s long-term
goals.”
The move the company blamed on budget austerity in many countries
– “Budget constrains in several countries affect all defence and
security companies, including Saab. Meanwhile we saw an increase in
order bookings in four out of six business areas during the first half
of 2013. For us to remain one of the most cost effective companies in
the industry, we must continuously adjust our operations,” says Görgen
Johansson, Senior Vice President Business Area Dynamics in a statement.
