Skanska to lay off over 1,150 employees

Skanska, Poland's biggest construction firm, intends to dismiss 1,150 workers [out of more than 6,000 people employed], announced recently appointed CEO Piotr Janiszewski on Monday. Janiszewski mentioned that the reason for such a decision is a decline in public tenders and weaker demand for construction services. According to the estimates, the company will post sales of approximately PLN 3.2 billion this year, while the figure stood at PLN 4.7 billion last year. Skanska is a leading international project development and construction company which operates in all construction segments on the Polish market.
