Nokia va închide fabrica de la Jucu,si 2.200 de angajaţi îşi vor pierde locurile de muncă Nokia va închide fabrica de la Jucu, judeţul Cluj, în cadrul unui program de eficientizare şi reducere a costurilor, iar 2.200 de angajaţi îşi vor pierde locurile de muncă, deoarece unităţile de producţie de mare volum din Asia sunt mai eficiente pentru grupul finlandez.... Grupul finlandez Nokia a început în februarie 2008 producţia de telefoane mobile la fabrica din Jucu, investiţia în fabrică ridicându-se la 60 de milioane de euro..... Nokia a primit în 2007 cu titlu gratuit 90 din cele 159 hectare ale Parcului Industrial Tetarom III, iar Guvernul a alocat 12 milioane lei pentru finanţarea lucrărilor de infrastructură la acest parc, pentru investiţia de la Jucu. Preşedintele Consiliului Judeţean Cluj, Marius Nicoară, a precizat atunci că, pentru introducerea utilităţilor pe terenul de 159 de hectare al Parcului Industrial de la Jucu sunt necesare 33 milioane euro, din care 10 milioane euro ar urma să fie asigurate de autorităţile judeţene şi locale, iar restul sumei din fonduri guvernamentale. Procedurile de închidere a fabricii se vor derula până la sfârşitul anului. Producătorul finlandez de telefoane mobile a mai închis în acest an şi centrul de Cercetare şi Dezvoltare din Cluj, concediind cei aproximativ 120 de angajaţi ai unităţii. "Nokia vrea să-şi ajusteze producţia de telefoane către locaţiile cu proximitate optimă faţă de distribuitori şi de pieţele cheie. Prin urmare, Nokia intenţionează să închidă fabrica de la Cluj, România, înainte de sfârşitul anului 2011, deoarece unităţile de producţie de mare volum din Asia oferă o mai bună scară a operaţiunilor şi beneficii de proximitate", se spune într-un comunicat transmis joi de grupul finlandez Nokia. Nokia a fost anul trecut al doilea mare exportator din România, după Dacia. După primele nouă luni ale anului trecut, compania avea deja exporturi de 750 milioane euro. Afacerile Nokia România au crescut anul trecut la 6,7 miliarde lei (circa 1,6 miliarde euro), de la 4,3 miliarde lei în 2009. Compania a avut în 2010 venituri de 7 miliarde lei şi un profit net de 181 miliarde lei....................... *** sursa : articolele mediafax.ro

Next phase of changes to improve efficiencies in manufacturing, Location & Commerce, and supporting functions.............
Nokia Corporation.....
Stock exchange release .....
September 29, 2011 at 10.00 (CET+1).......
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced plans to take additional actions to align its workforce and operations. The measures support both the execution of the company's strategy and the savings target the company announced earlier this year, and also target to bring efficiencies and speed to the organization.
Earlier this year, Nokia announced changes primarily focused on aligning its R&D operations in Smart Devices and Mobile Phones. Today, the company announced the next phase of operational alignment, which includes plans for reductions in manufacturing, the Location & Commerce business, and supporting functions........
Nokia plans to adjust its manufacturing capacity and renew its manufacturing operations to better serve its global network of customers, partners and suppliers in the following manner:
- Focus its feature phone manufacturing on those locations with optimal proximity to suppliers and key markets. As a result, Nokia plans to close its manufacturing facility in Cluj, Romania by the end of 2011, as Nokia's high-volume Asian factories provide greater scale and proximity benefits.
- Review the long-term role of its manufacturing operations in Salo, Finland, Komarom, Hungary, and Reynosa, Mexico. These factories are expected to continue to play a key role in serving European and North American smartphone customers, but the plan is to gradually shift their focus to customer and market-specific software and sales package customization. It is estimated this would have an impact on the number of personnel in 2012, with no impact in 2011. Nokia will engage in discussions with employee representatives and stakeholders in these sites, and expects to have more visibility into the possible headcount impacts in the first quarter of 2012.
Nokia previously announced its plans to create a Location & Commerce business consolidating location assets including NAVTEQ and Nokia's social location services operations. As part of consolidating this business, Nokia has identified potential synergies and opportunities to increase effectiveness through automation. Location & Commerce is responsible for driving the delivery of the world's best digital mapping content, location platform and social-location experiences. Nokia plans to concentrate its Location & Commerce development efforts in Berlin, Boston, Chicago and other supporting sites, and plans to close its operations in Bonn, Germany and Malvern, US.
Nokia is also starting consultations with employees in Sales, Marketing and Corporate Functions, in line with Nokia's earlier announcement on April 27, 2011.
"We are seeing solid progress against our strategy, and with these planned changes we will emerge as a more dynamic, nimble and efficient challenger," said Stephen Elop, Nokia President and CEO. "We must take painful, yet necessary, steps to align our workforce and operations with our path forward."
"Europe is core to Nokia's future. In addition to our headquarters, we have a strong R&D presence in Europe. We have four major R&D sites in Finland and two major R&D sites in Germany, as well as Nokia Research Centers and other supporting R&D sites in Europe. Nokia also retains a strong local presence in our many sales offices throughout this region, as well as our operations in Salo and Komarom," said Elop.
..................
The planned closure of the Cluj factory combined with adjustments to supply chain operations is estimated to impact approximately 2,200 employees. The planned changes in the Location & Commerce business are estimated to impact approximately 1,300 employees. These personnel reductions are in addition to the measures announced in April and are expected to take effect by the end of 2012.
