Swiss subcontractor lays off 30 at Garpenberg mine after March collapse

A Swiss subcontractor to Boliden is laying off about 30 employees at Garpenbergs mine in Hedemora, following the March 14 collapse that injured three workers and halted production. The mine had been one of Boliden's most profitable operations.

Implenia AB, a Swiss firm subcontracting for Boliden, is laying off about 30 employees at Garpenbergs mine in Hedemora. The layoffs are a direct result of the mine collapse on March 14, which injured three workers and stopped all production.

Prior to the incident, Garpenbergsgruvan was one of Boliden's most profitable mines, according to sodran.se.

This is the latest impact of the collapse on Boliden's subcontractors. Eric Salomonsson reported on the layoffs in Dala-Demokraten.
