A consultation procedure will be launched in mid-June, the company told Swiss news agency Keystone-SDA, thereby confirming a report published on Thursday in the French-language daily Le Temps.
“We are not cutting any jobs in Switzerland to compensate for them abroad. The site in Portugal will not be expanded for the time being”, the company said.
