CommScope to consolidate some business segments

CommScope said it will combine certain antenna and cable production within its Antenna, Cable and Cabinet Group and its Enterprise segments into other existing facilities.

The changes mean the layoff of at least 85 employees. In total, the company says more than 700 jobs could be affected by the decision, with the majority of jobs potentially being relocated.

It also means the closure of at least six segment sites in England, the Czech Republic, Australia and Scotland. Those services will be moved to other existing facilities or outsourced elsewhere.

The company said Monday's announced plans are expected to be finalized and approved later this year, at which time the company will detail the expected savings.
