The target is to transfer approximately 70-80 Outotec employees to Citec. The planned outsourcing will not have an impact on Outotec's financial guidance for 2017.
"By outsourcing part of our engineering activities we will create more flexibility to our organization and decrease Outotec's fixed costs in the long run. Citec is a suitable partner for us as they have already presence and an existing customer base in Germany and Finland and excellent references", says Kalle Härkki, Head of Outotec's Metals, Energy & Water business unit.
