Production ramped back up after strike ends at Outokumpu Tornio

Outokumpu announced that its Tornio Work’s production ramped back up after strike ended.

It said that “Production was ramped back up during the weekend and the mill is now capable to meet all orders. Due to the short duration of the strike, direct effects to the group's results were marginal.”

Among some other Finnish companies, Outokumpu's Tornio Works was affected last week by the Salaried Employees Union strike. The strike started on October 22nd 20087 and ended on October 26th 2007. During the strike most of the stainless steel production operations in Tornio were suspended. But deliveries continued from existing stock.
