No effect on Vertu Nokia axes jobs in Japan

Nokia follows its last week’s research and development (R&D) reduction announcement by announcing job cuts in Japan. Nokia says that it is setting its operations to be in line with its focused portfolio of future products. In Japan this m means that 220 employees will lose their jobs.

Last week Nokia announced plans to reduce some of its R&D activities in Finland and Denmark by cutting 320 jobs.

Nokia says that it will continue its sourcing activities in Japan.

“Japanese manufacturers are important partners who play a critical role in Nokia's global supply-chain strategy and with whom Nokia continues to develop its world-class logistics operations, Nokia’s press release says. It goes on to say that the Japanese operation of Nokia Siemens Networks, Nokia's network infrastructure business, is not affected by this announcement and continues uninterrupted.

Vertu, Nokia's exclusive line of handcrafted mobile phones for the luxury market, will also continue operations in Japan unaffected by today's announcement.
