The company has announced that it has entered into a period of collective consultation with employees and their representatives at the facility.
“As a result of a significant fall in production volumes at the site due to loss of business, proposals are currently being considered by Tulip that could impact up to 170 roles,” it said.
The collective consultation period will be followed by individual consultations with those directly impacted.
“We will work closely with our people at Bodmin to help to minimise the impact of today’s announcement where possible,” it said.
