Rogers Announces Further Actions to Streamline Operations and Drive Margin Improvement
June 7, 2024 | Rogers CorporationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Rogers Corporation announced plans to drive further operational efficiency and margin improvement. Rogers intends to wind down manufacturing of advanced circuit materials and other related activities at its Evergem, Belgium factory by mid-2025. Rogers will continue to support its advanced circuit materials customers through its existing footprint in China and the United States.
These actions are expected to improve operating profit between $7 to $9 million annually, once fully implemented. To achieve these savings the Company expects to incur total charges in the range of $18 to $28 million, comprised of employee severance and related shutdown expenses.
“Providing high levels of support to our customers, in the regions they operate, is at the core of our global operations footprint strategy,” said Colin Gouveia, Rogers' President and CEO. “As customer demand for our high frequency circuit materials continues to shift to other regions, we are adjusting our manufacturing operations in response. These intended actions will improve customer service levels, drive higher factory utilization rates, lower future costs, and increase margins. We are committed to treating all affected employees fairly and respectfully.”
