Elanders 120 employees were given notice of dismissal on Friday. Including 90 in Mölnlycke, 20 and 10 of Vällingbyvägen Värnamo.
Mölnlycke part is about 40 percent of the staff.
– This is a notice, and the man is laying off functions then you go into a negotiation. What is the net we do not know yet. People can get the offer to move to other departments or to move to another place, says Magnus Nilsson, CEO and President.
The reason behind the big layoff is a sharply declining profitability for the printing, the same rate as the information moves across for web, digital plates and mobile phones. Staff reduction is a measure to maintain competitiveness.
– The graphic industry is facing an unprecedented upheaval. This means that the pressure decreases the volume. Fine paper sales will decrease by five to ten percent per year, and that’s about the rate that the market is shrinking. Then we have to make ongoing adjustments, and that’s what we did in Sweden in recent years, says Magnus Nilsson.
A total of 305 people on Elanders in Sweden today – a third of the workforce laid off now denouncing.
After the layoff, the atmosphere was subdued Elanders in Mölnlycke.
– We have received information and it is clear that the atmosphere is not perfect, says Martin Schubach, secretary of the local GS club .
– There is a lot of questions from the members, but before all the negotiations are completed, there is not much to say, but the negotiations must take its course, he said.
