Nokia to shut Romania plant.To cut 3,500 jobs
HELSINKI (Reuters) - Nokia Oyj, the world's largest cellphone vendor by volume, is cutting 3,500 jobs in its second major restructuring in six months as it struggles with falling sales and profits.
Chief executive Stephen Elop, who took over at Nokia a year ago, unveiled the plans which include a factory closure and a new executive chairman for telecom gear joint venture Nokia Siemens Networks, on Thursday.
The company said it would close the Cluj factory in Romania which opened just four years ago and manufactured more simple cellphone models, leading to 2,200 job losses.
The plant turnover was comparable to 1.3 percent of Romania's GDP last year, but Eastern European investment group Avaron said due to large component flows the value created at the plant was smaller, giving a rough estimate of around 0.25 percent of GDP.
Nokia said a further 1,300 jobs would be cut at its Location & Commerce business unit, which includes the world's largest digital mapping business Navteq.
Nokia said it was also evaluating the future of its plants in Finland, Mexico and Hungary and this would result in job cuts next year.
The latest redundancies come on top of cost cut plans set out in April which included laying off 4,000 staff. Thursday's cuts are included in Nokia's savings target of more than one billion euros, which was unveiled in July.
"This is very shocking. As if they had no policy at all in human resources, only lay-off talks rolling all the time. I wonder how people can work there, how people can focus at all," Pertti Porokari, the chairman of Finnish engineers' union (UIL), told Reuters.
"For sure the company is going through a massive reform, but it feels like the new direction is not quite under control."
Nokia has struggled this year with falling sales and profits after the group said in February it would switch to Microsoft Corp software for its smartphones, but the first of these models will reach the market only later this year.
"We are seeing solid progress against our strategy, and with these planned changes we will emerge as a more dynamic, nimble and efficient challenger," Elop, Nokia's first foreign chief executive, said in a statement.
Nokia's share price has halved since it announced the Microsoft deal on worries the company will lose so much market share before the new phones come out that it might never make up lost ground.
Nokia's quarterly phone sales to end-June dropped 20 percent at a time when market grew 10 percent, and its 15-year reign at the top of the smartphone market ended as both Apple and Samsung Electronics surpassed it.
"Now the volume has come down, clearly Nokia is looking for new saving targets," said analyst Jari Honko from Swedbank in Helsinki.
"I hope this extensive review does not mean that Nokia has lost so much scale that in-house production will no longer be competitive. It has been the most important strengths of Nokia," Honko said.
The shares were flat at 4.18 euros by 1100 GMT, in line with the sector.
Separately, Nokia supplier Digia said it had agreed to cut 170 jobs in its Finnish operations, and could cut up to 80 more as it revamped its business.
Nokia also said it and Siemens AG will both inject 500 million euros ($680 million) into their 50:50 telecom gear joint venture Nokia Siemens Networks.
Jesper Ovesen would take over as executive chairman of Nokia Siemens Networks, replacing former Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, Nokia said.
Ovesen, who has worked as chief financial officer at many top Danish firms helped to turn Lego around during his spell as CFO of the toy group in 2003-2007 and took telecoms operator TDC public late last year.
Siemens and Nokia would like to take Nokia Siemens Networks public at some point, but the company has struggled to report profits, battling against aggressive rivals Huawei and Ericsson.
Separately, Nokia Siemens said it has won an order from Bharti Airtel to upgrade, build and manage networks in seven African countries.

Nokia Announces Three Symbian Smartphones
Nokia has announced three mid-tier smartphones running on an upgraded version of its proprietary Symbian platform, the Nokia 600, 700, and 701.
Nokia's global head of sales, Colin Giles, a company veteran, announced the smartphones in Hong Kong on Wednesday, pledging continued Symbian support in Asia-Pacific.
It's uncertain when, or if, these phones will ever come to the U.S., but chances are looking slim. Earlier this month a Nokia exec told All Things D that when it launches Windows Phone devices this fall, it will "essentially be out of the Symbian business." And PCMag mobile analyst Jamie Lendino pointed out that Nokia quietly began re-directing U.S. e-sales to Amazon.
But if you're a Symbian fan, maybe you'll want to source an unlocked device. The Nokia 600 (right), the cheapest of the trio, costs EUR 180 (US$260) before tax and operator subsidies. It will be available in black, white, pink, and lime flavors. The 600 boasts a 1-GHz processor, 3.2-inch AMOLED display, 2GB of internal memory expandable up to 32GB, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with flash, and 720p video recording.
Nokia touts the Nokia 700 (left) as its "smallest smartphone" and measures 110x50x9.1 mm and 96 grams, and will cost around EUR 270 (US$390) unsubsidized. Apart from that, the specs are about identical to the Nokia 600.Finally the Nokia 701 (below right), the most high-end of the three, comes with a 3.5-inch AMOLED display and 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with dual-LED flash. It'll cost EUR 290 (US$418) before tax and subsidies.
All three phones will hit non-U.S. markets in the third quarter of the year, around the same time Nokia is expected to unveil its first Windows Phone device, codenamed Sea Ray, at Nokia World in London.The three smartphones also come with an upgraded version of Symbian, aka Symbian Belle. Belle adds resizable widgets, a more informative status bar, a "flat" menu structure (goodbye folders!), and richer navigation.
Belle also enables near-field communications (NFC), so the smartphones can make wireless data transfers, from payments to pictures to powering. See the video below for more information on Symbian Belle.
Last month the Finnish manufacturer also introduced a new Symbian device, the Nokia 500, reflecting a new naming system.
Earlier this month Nokia told Engadget that it had no plans to launch the upcoming MeeGo-based N9 smartphone in the United States.
