F: Is it true, Mr. Northfield, that Flaxco intends to close down even more of us European plants?
M: I’m not sure what you are getting at. How do you come to ask such a question? Who’s mentioned any closures of plants in the first place?
F: Well, put it another way then: Are European operations going to be reduced along the lines of recent years? I mean, is it true that Flaxco has taken over several companies abroad, particularly in the USA and has even expanded its workforce there.
M: There are a number of developments about which you seem to get confused, if I may say so.
F: A large number of jobs have been lost, though, at your European plants?
M: Look, let me try and but things into perspective for you. I’ll give you some facts first of all. Our production resources have been concentrated steadily over the past few years . So, now we have focused our manufacturing facilities in Europe, but not only here.
