LNR Linamar Corp

Linamar Corporation (TSX:LNR) announced today that its Linamar Automotive
Systems Swansea Company, located in Swansea, Wales will initiate consultations
with the Unite trade union at the plant on proposals to cease manufacturing and
transfer production elsewhere. Consultations on such proposals in the UK are
typically for a 90 day period.


Today's announcement comes as a result of extensive review into the prospects of
the operations located in Swansea. Regrettably, the review has concluded,
subject to consultation, that there is no viable future for the operation.


Linda Hasenfratz, Linamar's Chief Executive Officer stated: "We deeply regret
the impact that this decision will have on our employees, their families and the
community. Linamar has pursued discussions on an ongoing basis relative to
ensuring the facility was in a competitive position for the future. However,
these discussions ultimately were not successful. It is our intention to start
consultations immediately and we are committed to attempting to reach an
arrangement that mitigates the impact of these job losses as best possible."
