Advanced Circuit Materials Manufacturing
Operations To Be Consolidated
Rogers Corporation (NYSE: ROG) (“Rogers”) announced today 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.”
