PKC GROUP'S CO-DETERMINATION NEGOTIATIONS IN KEMPELE HAVE ENDED                 

PKC Group has today finalised the co-determination negotiations for temporary   
lay-offs of Kempele unit's personnel. Negotiations were started due to decreased
demand of wiring harnesses.                                                     

Lay-offs concern almost all PKC Group Oyj's personnel in Kempele, about 250     
persons. Lay-offs shall commence gradually and their duration will vary from    
function to function from one week to longer periods of time. Current plan is   
that the lay-offs last for a maximum of 14 weeks by the end of June, after which
they may be prolonged if need be. Lay-offs will begin earliest in the beginning 
of February.
