The statutory negotiations at Nokian Tyres plc’s Finnish factory ended on 17 December 2012. Improving productivity and adjusting production will be executed mainly with temporary lay-offs; in addition 28 production workers and officials will be laid off permanently.
The car tyre production will be cut through lay-offs by not more than 42 production days in 2013. Heavy tyre production will be adjusted accordingly by decreasing production volumes and cutting production days.
The Nokian Tyres Finnish factory has approximately 600 workers and staff in the car tyre production and 260 people in Nokian Heavy Tyres’ operations.
