Orion Diagnostica Oy, a subsidiary of Orion Corporation focusing on diagnostic tests, has received a notice of termination from its landlord to terminate the lease agreement of Orion Diagnostica's premises in Oulu. For this reason, the operations of Orion Diagnostica Oy in the current premises will end by the end of September 2017 at the latest.
Orion Diagnostica Oy has today given a negotiation proposal, as laid down in the Finnish Act on Co-operation within Undertakings, on reorganising operations and possible personnel reductions in Oulu. The negotiations concern 14 employees.
Possible reorganisation of the operations may lead to transfers of employees in Oulu, transfers of employees to other locations or to other positions in the Orion Group, changes to the terms of employment as well as possible terminations of employments. Should redundancies occur, the employer would, according to a preliminary estimate, give notices during 2017.
