Wed 10 Oct 2010IBM to cut 190 jobs in Dublin
Technology firm IBM is to cut 190 jobs from its server manufacturing business in Dublin by March next year as it moves the operation to China.
The move has been flagged for some time, as the focus of IBM’s Dublin Technology Campus has switched from manufacturing of hardware products to software and services in recent years.
In a statement today, IBM said it planned to move its low end/mid range server manufacturing operations from Mulhuddart in Dublin to Shenzhen, China, by March next.
"This change will place us closer to our growth markets and suppliers, while providing greater operational efficiency and cost savings," the company said.
