Relocation of kitchen production from Älmhult to Tidaholm


The trade-union negotiations concerning the relocation of kitchen production
from Nobia's plant in Älmhult to the plant in Tidaholm were concluded on
September 7, 2010. The assembly and distribution of kitchens for the Myresjökök
brand will gradually be relocated to Tidaholm as of November 2010.

The changes will generate approximately 60 new jobs in Tidaholm, while a lack of
work due to the relocation of production will affect about 100 employees in
Älmhult. Negotiations regarding seniority will begin in the coming days. The
company will offer transition support for effected employees.

The purpose of the change is to strengthen Nobia's competitiveness by pursuing
fewer and larger production units.
