Doosan IMGB, a South-Korean company manufactruring heavy cast and forged components for power generation, nuclear industry, metallurgical cement and mining, shipbuilding and general machinery fields announced a restructuring of 400 jobs in 2020. The job cuts will start to be implemented as of 1 January 2020. The restructuring process is due to the different commercial and economic constraints.
