NCR proposes to cease manufacturing in Dundee and reduce its engineering, marketing and support staffing levels resulting in 252 job reductions
DUNDEE – NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today announced proposals to make 252 job reductions in Dundee in the face of the unprecedented contraction in the global economy.
NCR has informed staff of its intention to cease manufacturing of low volume and high complexity products at its Gourdie site. At the same time it proposes to reduce staff levels in engineering, solutions marketing and support functions.
Rick Marquardt, NCR’s vice president of global manufacturing said, “Like many companies, we have taken a number of prudent steps to better manage our cost structure in recent months. However, based on the current business outlook, we now need to make the difficult but necessary decision of proposing further workforce reductions in Dundee in order to protect our position. We realise that these changes will bring challenging times for those employees affected and we are committed to helping any individuals affected with comprehensive outplacement support.”
NCR is beginning a 90-day consultation process on the proposed restructuring with union and employee representative groups in Dundee.
Under the proposals, NCR’s remaining business activities in Dundee will focus on engineering, research and development, services support operations, solutions management, marketing and new product introduction. Approximately 450 positions would remain across all functions in Dundee.
