Helsinki, Dec. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the joint
venture between Japan's Fujitsu Ltd. and Germany's Siemens AG, may
stop making computers in its Kilo, southern Finland-based factory,
reported newspaper Kauppalehti, citing Mike Campbell, head of human
resources at Fujitsu Siemens Computers. Fujitsu Siemens will
concentrate production at its two German factories, situated in
Soemmerdan and Augsburg. Halting production in Kilo would leave 450
people out of work, unless another company takes over the production;
the company declined to name a buyer, though said such negotiations
are on the way.
Fujitsu Siemens had a 14 percent share of
the European computer market, second to
Compaq Computer Corp., in the first
nine-months of the year. (Kauppalehti
