UKCV: Pilkington is to cut another 90 jobs in the region as it continues to make massive cost savings.

The firm yesterday confirmed it is looking to make more than one in six of its employees redundant at its European Technical Centre in Lathom, near Ormskirk, as part of global restructuring.

The company has been hit hard by the global downturn as a knock-on effect of the major problems in the car and housing industries.

The West Lancashire site is the group’s research and development facility where nano-technology was developed to produce coated glass for the solar cell and thermal installation markets.

A spokesperson for the company was unable to rule out compulsory redundancies.

Total Losses = 90
