Workforce reduction at Enics Schweiz

The operating environment in Switzerland under the influence of a strong Swiss Franc has become more challenging in the past 18 months, a press release states. As a consequence, the profitability and competitiveness of Enics operations in Switzerland have suffered. “To secure our position as an attractive and reliable Electronics Manufacturing Services partner we are planning to adjust our cost structure to the current and future sales volume. We intend to reorganize our structures in such a way, that we will be able to fulfill our customers’ needs within a leaner, more flexible and agile organization”, explains Daniel Buser, General Manager Enics Schweiz AG. As one of the planned measures, the company based in Turgi (Canton Aargau) has today opened the consultation phase for a possible reduction of 40 workplaces until April 2017. Simultaneously the EMS-provider will continue to implement the lean approach consequently and further intensify its customer focus. Enics Schweiz AG will also boost the implementation of new services, as for example tailor-made test concepts or rapid prototype production. Daniel Buser: „We – Enics Schweiz as well as the whole Enics Group – believe in our business unit in Switzerland. We are convinced to be providing a substantial value add to our customers as a professional local EMS partner with access to the global Enics network.”
