As indicated in the semi-annual figures and the trading update, market
conditions in the prefab concrete market are difficult and Heijmans has
therefore announced a number of measures. Heijmans intends to sharply reduce the
production capacity of its Bestcon prefab concrete factory.
Bestcon will be exclusively focused on the production of prefab concrete for the
Heijmans activities, including residential and non-residential building, and
civil engineering works. This means that over two thirds of the 90 jobs will be
eliminated. Where possible, Heijmans will relocate employees internally, however
the possibility of forced layoffs has not been excluded. The intention to
undertake this organizational restructuring is currently being reviewed by the
Works Council for advice.
