Bofors Weapon Systems Serves Notice On 85 Salaried Staff
Celsius´ business unit Bofors Weapon Systems has served notice on 85 salaried employees, due to shortage of work. The union has been informed, and redundancy negotiations are being initiated.
These redundancies will affect salaried employees at Bofors Weapon Systems in Karlskoga, and are necessitated by reduced or cancelled orders.
Orders anticipated for the artillery side are highly uncertain. This uncertainty has been heightened by the long drawn out decision process regarding the future of the Swedish Defence Forces. Together, these factors make these redundancies unavoidable.
So far this year, Celsius´ business area Defence has instituted cutbacks affecting some 400 personnel, and notice has been served on a further 300 employees.
In the past 24 months, Celsius´ defence contracting units have implemented a net reduction in excess of 2000 personnel.
