Uponor’s global cost-reduction program also indicated that 200 positions would be affected throughout Europe and North America. Approximately 80 employees of those 200 are impacted by the Saint John closure, and Uponor is working with those affected by offering outplacement services and severance packages. Uponor North America will recruit new employees for the company’s main manufacturing facility in Apple Valley, Minn., which will minimize the impact on the total personnel reduction in North America.
