The newly announced site closures are part of an ongoing restructuring plan. Sony Ericsson is to consolidate its development operations and plans to close down in Seattle; Miami; San Diego (all in the USA), Kista (Sweden) and Chennai (India).
The telecom-giant plans to consolidate all product development in its units in Redwood Shores (USA), Lund (Sweden), Tokyo (Japan) and Beijing (China). This is all part of a restructuring plan that the company announced in April this year - planning to reduce the global headcount by around 2000. Restructuring is said to be finihed by mid-2010.
