The move is likely to result in job losses. Atria said it would begin personnel negotiations immediately and would specify “the needs for reducing and relocating personnel” over the two year duration of the project.
“It is estimated that personnel will need to be reduced by maximum 80 man-years,” said the group in a statement.
The investment is expected to generate annual cost savings of some EUR8m in the plant’s operations.
