Nokia plans to axe up to 285 jobs at its plant in Salo, Computer Business Review has reported.
The move comes as the Finnish giant plans to revamp the plant, develop an operational mode, introduce new specialised manufacturing methods, focusing attention on the high-end smartphone market in Europe.
Juha Putkiranta, senior vice president of markets at Nokia, said, "Salo is a crucial part of Nokia's global manufacturing network. Plans involving changes to employees are always painful, and they are set in motion only after thorough consideration."
