Foxconn today closed its staff negotiations in Finland that started in March. 295 employees will lose their jobs.

Some of the employees in Finland have agreed on moving to other of Foxconns plants abroad. Therefore the number of redundancies was lower than expected. Initially 400 jobs were planned to be removed. That number has now been adjusted to 295. The reason why Foxconn needed to reduce its staff in Finland was because a large part of the European mobile phone industry has transferred operations to Asia

L'an passé, le sous-traitant français Cofidur a réalisé un chiffre d'affaires de 81,7 millions d'euros en baisse de 5% par rapport à 2004. Le résultat net part du groupe est tombé à 0,297 million d'euros, contre 1,923 million en 2004 en partie à cause d'une charge de personnel exceptionnelle de 800 000 euros. Par contre, au 1er trimestre 2006, les ventes de Cofidur ont progressé de 10,8% par rapport à la même période de 2005, à 25,7 millions d'euros. Cette croissance serait en grande partie la résultante de l'activité de Laval dans le secteur aéronautique. En fin d'année dernière, Cofidur a en effet racheté Flextronics Laval et a repris 93 personnes du site. Le sous-traitant y a constitué un pôle dédié à l'aéronautique, au militaire et à l'industriel, pôle fort de 250 personnes.
Le conseil d’administration de COFIDUR, réuni sous la présidence de M. H.TRANDUC
le 20 Avril 2006 a arrêté les comptes consolidés et sociaux de l’exercice clos le 31/12/2005, dont il ressort les éléments suivants:
La société COFIDUR S.A. a réalisé en 2005 un chiffre d'affaires de 2 517 K€ et généré un résultat net de 1 058 K€.

Le Chiffre d’affaires consolidé à 81,7 M€ est en repli de près de 5% par rapport à un exercice 2004 qui avait été particulièrement soutenu. Cette baisse, principalement due à des affaires moins consommatrices en composants achetés, n’a pratiquement pas eu d’incidence sur le résultat opérationnel courant.
