"The reason behind the decision is based on the continued uncertainties in our global market environment caused by the COVID-19-pandemic, which forces us to adjust to lower volumes and to better position our company for the future. We are expecting to see a weak market situation going forward and need to act in time to protect our business," says Göran Björkman, President for Sandvik Materials Technology.
