Neways Relocates Operational Activities of Chinese Operating Company
December 9, 2015 | NewaysEstimated reading time: 1 minute
NEWAYS ELECTRONICS INTERNATIONAL N.V. (Neways) plans to reallocate the operational activities of Neways Micro Electronics (NME) in Echt and China. In line with the improvement programme launched in mid-2015, Neways has also decided to make organisational changes at the operating company Neways Cable & Wire Solutions (NCWS).
NME specialises in the development and production of hybrid micro-electronics and the assembly and testing of client-specific modules. The turnover from the NME activities is lagging expectations. Following an automation process, the activities will be largely transferred to the Neways Micro Electronics location in Echt. Neways Wuxi Electronics in China will take over the remaining activities.
The reallocation of the Neways Micro Electronics activities in China will affect 65 employees. Neways will try to retain some jobs by transferring a number of them to Neways Wuxi Electronics.
Neways will also improve the efficiency of the NCWS organisation, the operating company that develops, produces and delivers high-quality cable systems for professional applications. Taking into account the current turnover development and a more efficient organisation, some 15 jobs will be lost early next year. Neways has submitted a request for advice to the works council.
Neways is taking a one-off provision of around EUR 2.6 million. The decision to change/reorganise the operational activities of NME and NCWS will make a positive contribution to the efficiency of the Neways organisations and result in structural cost savings.
Neways will publish its 2015 annual results before trading on 23 February 2016.
