Fazer Outsources its Online Store Operations

The company announced in a press release that it has evaluated different options to streamline the operations of the online shop Fazer Store. Following the employer’s plans to outsource the operations of Fazer Store, it has initiated cooperation negotiations regarding restructuring.

“Fazer Store, our online shop for consumers, was opened in 2018 as part of the implementation of Fazer’s consumer-centric strategy. Last year the selection of the store was expanded from confectionery to include also other Fazer’s long shelf life products, e.g. porridges and mueslis. The online shop serves consumers in the EU region and the coronavirus crisis has further increased the demand for online store services.” Nathalie Ahlström, Managing Director of Fazer Confectionery, says.

Fazer Store’s operations are carried out as part of the Karkkila factory’s operations. The employer has evaluated different options to streamline the operations of the online store and, on the other hand, to harmonise the factory’s production to meet the overall market situation. The employer plans to strengthen the growing Fazer Store by outsourcing its operations. As a result, Fazer is initiating restructuring collaboration negotiations for a total of 23 employees. If executed, the plans may lead to changes in job tasks and termination of a maximum of 8 employments.
