Scanfil plc's subsidiary Scanfil EMS Oy's statutory negotiations concerning the 
Sievi plant due to production and financial reasons and business restructuring  
ended today, on 22 September 2009. The reason for negotiations was weakening in 
demand at Sievi plant, which caused a need to reorganize and restructure        
production operations.                                                          

As a result of the negotiations 5 salaried employees and 25 workers will be made
redundant and 40 workers will be laid-off for an indefinite period. Lay-offs    
will be carried out by the middle of October and personnel reductions will be   
executed in stages by the end of March 2010.
