Turku Production to End

The Wartsila Corporation hasannounced plans to cease engine manufacturing at its plant at Turku in Finland following consultation with personnel representatives. The move to reduce surplus engine capacity within the Group will result in 425 redundancies. Manufacturing will cease by the end of this year and the Turku factory will be turned into a service unit, a Ship Power unit, and will provide product support. Some 200 workers will continue to be employed at Turku.
