Panasonic In Costa Rica To Stay
Open Despite Global Massive Layoffs
While during the past week a number of local and foreign companies
have announced cutbacks and layoffs, Panasonic in Costa Rica made a
point yesterday that it will continue operations despite the parent
company's cutback of 15.000 employees and the closure of 27 plants
around the world and Japan.
Panasonic in Costa Rica, located in San Antonio de Belen, will
remain intact and continue operations, according to Panasonic's
director of human relations, Manuel Emilio Carmona.
Carmona added that the current financial crisis is affecting
everyone, but there are other measures to optimize resources without
having to layoff people.
Panasonic has been operating in Costa Rica since 1966. Costa Rica is
the regional centre for Central America employing 160 people, who
work mainly in producing dry batteries, the import of plasma screen
televisions, home appliances, telephones and other electronic
products.
