Nokia is going to increase efficiency in smartphone production
Nokia is planning changes at its factories in Komarom, Hungary, Reynosa, Mexico and Salo, Finland. The measures aim to increase the company's competitiveness in global mobile device market. Device assembly is expected to be transferred to Nokia factories in Asia, where the majority of component suppliers are based.

They give us a unique ability to both provide customization and be more responsive to customer needs," said Niklas Savander, Nokia executive vice president, Markets.
The changes are anticipated to impact approximately 4,000 employees in total. Personnel reductions are planned to be phased through the end of 2012.
