Rautaruukki to Streamline Steel Service Center Operations
06/20/2008 - Rautaruukki announces plans to streamline its steel service centre operations by eliminating overlaps at the centers and centralizing customer service.
Rautaruukki has announced it will streamline its steel service centre operations by eliminating overlaps at the centers and centralizing customer service. The division of work between units will be reorganized to improve service centre delivery accuracy, cost efficiency and profitability.
As part of its streamlining efforts, Rautaruukki will begin employer-employee negotiations on June 23, 2008 at Ruukki Metals’ service centers in Järvenpää and Naantali in Finland, as well as in Halmstad, Sweden. The company said it would make efforts to find work in Ruukki’s other units for the approximately 15 to 20 employees affected in Järvenpää, Naantali, and Halmstad. These three centers employ a total of 318 people.
The company said it will center stainless and aluminum product operations entirely on Järvenpää, while operations at the Naantali service center will be enhanced by improving production and cost efficiency. The company plans to optimize operations at the Halmstad service center in Sweden by shifting to internal cutting of carbon steels instead of partly subcontracting as is done at present.
