Organisational changes have been decided on in Sweden as the next step in Gränges’ work on operational efficiency. The aim is to take greater advantage of the Group’s technical competence through increased focus on strategic research and customer-related technical development and also to ensure more efficient management of metal purchasing and distribution. In conjunction with the reorganisation, personnel reductions will be made that will affect up to 35 positions in Sweden, primarily in administrative functions.
“We must become sharper. We have a growth strategy and to be able to grow the business in a global market, we must ensure that we are competitive in all areas,” says Gränges’ CEO Johan Menckel.
“Our business control will now be clearer and we can take greater advantage of our internal competencies. Through increased focus on customer-related technical development, we strengthen our customer offering, while our strategic research will be a priority area. We will be better adapted to our market and our customers,” says CEO Johan Menckel.
It is estimated that the measures decided on will entail costs totalling approximately SEK 15 million during the third quarter of 2015.
The change in the organisation will give Gränges’ research and development a clearer focus. The Group’s strategic research will be coordinated globally, while other research and development projects will be more integrated in the business and can be conducted closer to customers.
Negotiations have been begun with union representatives regarding the change and it is estimated that all employees affected will have been informed by the end of November 2015 at the latest.
At 30 June 2015 Gränges had 452 employees in Sweden, 431 of whom in Finspång.
