Gränges reorganizes European operations
As part of Gränges Europe’s efficiency improvement programme, the company is executing organizational changes in the Swedish operations. “We are constantly working to improve efficiency and develop our operations. The new organization will be even more customer- and market-oriented and aims to further improve our customer offering, strengthen Gränges Europe's competitiveness and contribute to continued growth,” says Jörgen Abrahamsson, president of Gränges Europe. As a part of the reorganization, reductions will be made that will affect up to 22 positions within the white-collar organization in Sweden.
The planned measures are expected to entail costs totalling approximately SEK15 million during the fourth quarter of 2019. As of 30 September 2019, Gränges Europe had 490 employees in Sweden, of which 161 are white-collars.
