Downsizing of Hexagon subsidiary

Hexagon Composites' wholly-owned subsidiary Hexagon Raufoss reports that it is downsizing its operating model to improve profit.

The company has terminated all its employee contracts and has implemented a modified operating model where operational services will be performed by its sister company Hexagon Ragasco. The restructuring includes workforce reductions through natural retirements, internal transfers and lay-offs. Eight employees have found other positions outside the group and 11 employees will be offered employment in sister company, while 14 employees have been laid-off, the company says. ‘Given the necessity to implement the restructuring process the selected operating model provides the best basis for healthy continuing operations, ‘said MD Ragnar Holthe . ‘This is a challenging situation for the company and our employees, and we regret that good employees will have to leave the company.’
