According to Nokia spokeswoman Eija-Riitta Huovinen, Nokia is moving four production lines from its Finnish Salo factory to South Korea as part of a reorganization in the Finnish plant. The move to South Korea is for early stage production of mobile phone "engines" and is done to accommodate more final assembly at the Salo factory.Huovinen said it's becoming increasingly important to have final assembly close to customers in order to deliver tailored products quickly.
An expansion in Salo to handle early stage production and final assembly wasn't possible due to a regional labor shortage.
