Cork-headquartered PCH rules out more job losses as it cuts China posts

PCH chief executive Liam Casey has ruled out any further job losses after announcing up to 250 redundancies at its Chinese operations.

The Cork-headquartered hardware design company has put in place a voluntary redundancy programme that will affect as many as 250 Chinese workers and global support staff as part of a “realignment” of its business.

The decision has been taken as PCH puts a greater emphasis on its US operations in San Francisco in response to increased demand for more complex products from clients in the area which requires much of the early-stage product development to be carried out near those customers.
