Nokia to close Jyväskylä plant, scale down Salo facility in Finland
As with most other cellphone makers (and companies in general), Nokia managed to lose a bit of cash, market share and dignity in the completely brutal past quarter. That said, it’s still doing leaps and bounds better than most, but that glimmer isn’t stopping it from shutting down its Jyväskylä site and scaling back at its Salo production facility (pictured). According to Nokia, this is all part of its ongoing plan to “increase cost-efficiency and adapt to the market situation,” and with the closings, it’ll concentrate mobile devices R&D in Finland at Tampere, Oulu, Salo (though to a lesser extent) and the Helsinki metropolitan area. It’s expected that all of the 320 employees at Jyväskylä will be sent packing by the end of this year, while temporary layoffs will be issued on a “rotational basis” (sounds thrilling, no?) at Salo. More details are stored away in the read link, but we’d avoid the depression that’s lurking unless your day has just been entirely too awesome.
