Oce to Cut 300 Jobs in Reorganization under Canon

Printer maker Océ plans to shed 300 of the 2,400 jobs at its headquarters in Venlo, The Netherlands. The OEM’s job cuts are said to be due to a reorganization under Canon. Océ was taken over by the Japanese camera, copier and printer giant in 2009. The company confirmed the job cut but would not comment.

Of the jobs to be cut are 200 full-time and 100 agency support staff.

The re-organization at Océ is not unexpected, according to the union’s Ron van Baden. “Last year they made a loss, and they are busy positioning themselves as a division of Canon,” he told the press.
