Inside information: Aspocomp starts change negotiations on possible temporary layoffs at its Oulu plant

 

Aspocomp Group Plc, Inside Information, August 15, 2023, at 8:50 a.m.

Aspocomp starts change negotiations on possible temporary layoffs at its Oulu plant in Finland. Today, on August 15, 2023, Aspocomp has issued a negotiation proposal in accordance with the Act on Cooperation to start change negotiations for production-related and financial reasons at its Oulu plant. The majority of the Oulu plant’s approximately 120 production blue-collar employees are covered by the negotiations. The change negotiations are estimated to last two weeks, and the possible temporary layoffs would last a maximum of 90 days.

With the change negotiations, the company prepares for a possible partial adjustment of production to correspond to temporarily low delivery volumes. Slower-than-expected recovery of the semiconductor cycle and high inventory levels in various parts of the value chain has slowed down net sales. A temporary slowdown in the semiconductor cycle is typical for the industry. The industry’s long-term growth prospects are still strong. The cycle of the semiconductor industry is expected to return to growth at the end of the year or the beginning of 2024.
