Kitchen production negotiations with trade unions commenced

Nobia's Board of Directors has commissioned a study to investigate the potential relocation of the Myresjökök brand's kitchen assembly and distribution operations from Nobia's plant in Älmhult, Sweden, to the plant in Tidaholm, Sweden.

"Assuming that negotiations are completed, such a relocation could begin in the autumn of 2010," says Ingemar Tärnskär, President of Myresjökök AB.

The reason for the study is the Nobia Group's strategy of moving towards larger and fewer production units.

Myresjökök's sales and marketing organisation is not covered by the study of the potential relocation.
