SKF engineering group is laying off 200 officers of termination.
SKF has decided to merge the two business areas: Strategic Industries (SI) and Regional Sales and Service (RSS). The merger and streamlining of internal support functions has led to redundancies. Therefore laid off 200 officers of termination.
“The reorganization is designed to reduce complexity and simplify the organization with a structure that is more customer and business-driven. This creates better conditions for growth and the basis for the company to achieve their financial goals.” SKF writes in a press release.

It is mainly officials in Gothenburg given notice, but other employee in Sweden may be affected, according to SKF.
SKF made an unexpectedly weak results for the third quarter of last year, but Gösta Andersson on the group’s press office says that today’s ruling does not have profitability problems to do.
- Should not be linked with it. It is entirely a result of the reorganization, as we announced before Christmas, he says
He also emphasizes that the reorganization did not affect the production units, without support functions.
How many who eventually become redundant can not say today. Negotiations with the unions has begun and these can lead to different results, such that a portion of downsizing can see through ‘natural attrition.
- It can become a part of the negotiations, says Gösta Andersson.
The idea is that the cutback will be completed by the end of February.
