Fiskars Group plans investments and changes in glass production to better cater for the premium and luxury product portfolio. In addition to the planned changes at the glass factories, the company is planning to centralize distribution operations in Finland into one location, Hämeenlinna, to optimize logistics and further improve customer experience. Currently, the group has a small distribution center in Billnäs, Finland, which the Group plans to close.

The Billnäs factory continues to be core to the production of the Fiskars brand. The company initiates employee negotiations regarding the planned changes. The group estimates that the planned changes will lead to a reduction of maximum 155 roles at the Rogaska factory, maximum 19 roles at the Iittala factory and 18 roles at the Billnäs distribution center.

Additionally, the group plans to implement furloughs of maximum 90 days concerning maximum 137 employees at the Iittala factory to reduce elevated inventories. As the planning progresses, the company will engage and work closely with its employees and employee representatives to ensure that they are fully informed and consulted about the proposals.
