Limavady Jobs Axed In 2008
It has now been confirmed that Seagate is to close its factory in Limavady.
The closure will take place in the second half of next year, with the loss of more than 900 jobs.
In a statement, Seagate said it would immediately commence a formal redundancy consultation process with its Limavady employees.
The American-owned company – which currently employs more than 900 people in the town making components for hard disc drives – called all staff to a meeting this afternoon.
Local SDLP assembly member John Dallat said it is the latest in a series of cuts.
"We feared the factory was closing. This is a disaster for the workers," he said.
"We have had a series of job losses in this area and this is very bad news for the local community."
