Ruukki Construction, part of SSAB Group, has concluded the change negotiations concerning its operations in Finland. The negotiations were part of the cost structure adjustment measures announced in June and concerning all of Ruukki's businesses and operating countries. As a result of the Finnish negotiations, a total of 33 jobs will be lost. In addition, personnel will be temporarily laid off as needed depending on the market situation.
Flexibility, reliable delivery and responsiveness: these were the reasons why Infra Supply chose SSAB as its pipe supplier for a unique solution for cooling a battery factory in Gothenburg, Sweden. When the project is complete, the spiral-welded steel pressure pipes will transport treated wastewater for cooling the factory, before the water is returned to the district heating system and used to heat people’s homes.
SSAB Europe’s Business Unit Finland is to initiate change negotiations in Raahe because of continued weak demand. The target is to structurally reduce the fixed costs by at least EUR 10 million on an annual basis. The negotiations will discuss alternatives to increase flexibility in operations and adjust to weakened demand, while taking account of future needs.
