Q-Med gives notice to 50 of the co-workers in Uppsala

As part of the company’s work on focussing resources on the esthetics business, personnel reductions will be made at Q-Med’s facility in Uppsala.

As has been previously announced, Q-Med has decided to focus on the esthetics business. Sales and marketing of Hospital Healthcare products will be done via partners and there will be no further in-house development of new products within this area. This change leads to redundancies at Q-Med’s facility in Uppsala. Despite the fact that Q-Med assesses that some of these redundancies can be absorbed by the esthetics business, approximately 50 of the co-workers in Uppsala will need to leave the company.

Negotiations will be initiated with union representatives immediately.

Q-Med continues to have a positive view of the market for the company’s products. Furthermore, Q-Med assesses that the company will return to historical profitability levels within the Esthetics product area and that the Hospital Healthcare product area will display good profitability as a result of the above measures.
