Polyclad Laminates to Close Nantes, France Operation
August 26, 2003 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Londonderry, N.H. — Polyclad Laminates,Inc., a Cookson Electronics PWB Materials & Chemistry business, intends to close its Nantes, France operation.
The closure, currently under discussion with local unions, would impact 64 manufacturing and administrative employees. Polyclad would continue to serve its European customers from its Perstorp, Sweden and Wipperfurth, Germany facilities.
The company states that reduced demand for laminate materials throughout Europe and specifically France, along with the changes in the global marketplace has necessitated this action. This change would in no way impact the delivery, quality and performance of Polyclad materials.
Polyclad Laminates has eight manufacturing facilities worldwide. European customers would continue to be served by more than 1,300 Polyclad Laminates employees worldwide, including 300 technical, sales, production, research and administrative personnel based throughout Europe.
Cookson Electronics is a leading supplier of materials to the electronics and surface finishing industries. Cookson Electronics PWB Materials & Chemistry businesses include Polyclad Laminates, one of the world's leading manufacturers of laminates, prepregs and resin-coated copper foils used in printed wiring boards. The group also includes Enthone Inc., a leading supplier of high-performance specialty chemicals and coatings used in the electronics and surface finishing industries.
