Negotiations to downsize operations in Norway



Negotiations have begun with employee representatives to discuss
personnel reductions in the production unit in Jevnaker, Norway. This
initiative is based on the declining demand for kitchens and on the
ongoing efficiency improvements of the supply chain in the Nobia
Group.
