The cost savings program will involve the entire personnel of the Tikkurila Group totalling approximately 3,800 persons. The program may lead to a reduction of approximately 500 persons totally from the company's payroll, including Tikkurila's all operating countries.
Tikkurila has announced the commencement of co-determination negotiations at its Vantaa site in Finland. The negotiations will cover the entire workforce of 900 at the Vantaa site and may lead to a reduction of 200 persons in Finland, including temporary personnel.
"In addition to personnel reductions, the negotiations will cover the possibility for temporary lay-offs, pension schemes, reorganization of tasks and retraining. Over the next few weeks, we will negotiate the process with our employee representatives", says Eero Katajavuori, Group Vice President, Human Resources & Legal, Tikkurila Oy.
