Banta job losses lead to speculation about Dell

The loss of 65 jobs at Banta Global Turnkey in Limerick is being linked to ongoing speculation over one of the city’s largest employers.

Banta is a major supplier to Dell computers and at one point employed 700 people at its Raheen facility.

Flextronics, which also depends on Dell business, is set to reduce their staff base by around 100.

Last week Dell let several hundred temporary workers go, but said the cuts were seasonal.
