Recticel Limited (UK) announced its intention to streamline its Flexible Foams converting activities in the United Kingdom, resulting in the potential closure of its foam converting factory in Nelson (Lancashire) before the end of Q3/2013.
The activities of this site are under consideration for integration into the conversion capacities at the converting unit in Alfreton (Midlands).
All 95 employees at the site have been put under risk of redundancy. During the consultation period, which will start soon, the Group is committed to search together with employee representatives for the most appropriate social support measures, including mobility to other Recticel UK Flexible Foams’ plants. The Flexible Foams’ activity employs 485 people in the United Kingdom.
The costs will be charged to the first half year of 2013.
