Bauhaus legger ned i Norge - nesten 300 ansatte mister jobben

Bauhaus, a Norwegian construction firm, has announced it will cease all operations in the country, affecting nearly 300 employees. According to the Brønnøysundregisteret, there are 294 employees at Bauhaus Norge. It remains unclear if every employee will lose their job, but according to day manager Kenneth Litland, all staff will be affected.

Litland wrote in an email to Drammens Tidende that the firm's decision was the most responsible course of action after a strategic review. The company currently operates three warehouses, located in Lier, Vestby, and Stavanger. It is not known when the operations will cease, but Litland stated that the warehouses will remain open during the transition period.

The firm has stated it will follow all Norwegian laws and regulations and initiated a dialogue with staff and their representatives regarding the future. VG has spoken to communications advisor Gjermund Skaar, who represents many of the affected employees within the corporation. He confirmed a meeting had occurred where staff were informed of the layoff.

Skaar said it was a sad day for their 86 Bauhaus members in Vestby, Lierskogen, and Stavanger. They are doing their best to support them and encourage all their correspondents to contact their trust representatives or regional offices. VG has attempted to obtain a comment from Bauhaus' managing director Kenneth Litland but has not received a response as of yet.
