Nippon Sheet Glass (NSG) has announced it is to close two factories in Europe as it continues to battle the effects of the global economic crisis. The group's EU Automotive Glass division plans to close its Ylojarvi plant in Finland, which employs 320 people, and its Landskrona site in Sweden, which makes toughened glass and employs 100 people. NSG is in the middle of a global restructuring programme as it bids to cope with low demand in key markets. The said closures will be completed during the calendar year 2013.
