Retailer Stockmann has completed negotiations with the staff of Seppälä and announced that a total of 70 jobs will be reduced at the head office and warehouse of the struggling fashion chain. The traditional retailer stated that it will downsize the Seppälä-operations to concentrate solely on its best-performing stores in Finland and Estonia. Seppälä pulls out of the Latvian and Lithuanian market entirely in the course of 2015.
