ST-Ericsson to increase competitiveness, may cut 600 jobs

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND: ST-Ericsson announced its proposed plan to further improve financial performance and increase its competitiveness in the market. This plan follows the reorganization announcement made in July this year.

The company is now targeting additional annualized savings of $115 million. These savings are expected to come from reductions in operating expenses and spending, along with an extensive R&D efficiency program. As part of this effort, the company will also conduct a global workforce review, which may affect up to an additional 600 employees worldwide.

Specific country impact related to this proposed plan and further details will be provided when employee representatives have been involved where required.
