Pilkingtons.Hundreds of jobs are under threat at the British operations of Pilkington, the Japanese-owned glass maker, amid falling demand for its products from the automotive and construction industries.
The company, which has already shed around 300 jobs in Britain this year, is looking to cut a number of additional posts understood to be in "the low hundreds" as part of an international restructuring announced last week.
Dire market conditions have prompted Pilkington's parent company, Nippon Sheet Glass, to launch a £150m cost-cutting plan that will result in job losses across the company's businesses.
