SUGAR LAND, TX, Nov 19, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) -- ArvinMeritor (NYSE:ARM) (Troy, Michigan), a global automobile equipment manufacturer, announced its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2008 earnings on November 18.

ArvinMeritor to cut 1,250 jobs - Zibb.com

Nov 03, 2008 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) --

ArvinMeritor, a supplier of integrated systems and components to the automotive industry, has announced that it is reducing its global workforce by 1,250 employees or approximately 7%, which is comprised of 450 salaried and 800 hourly positions, in response to the current weakness in global business conditions.

ArvinMeritor is responding aggressively to the current weakness in global business conditions by executing comprehensive restructuring and cost-reduction initiatives. In addition, it is exploring strategic alternatives to the spin-off of its light vehicle systems business group.

The company said that it has accelerated restructuring actions, including workforce and discretionary cost reductions to achieve an expected $125 million in annualized savings in 2009.

The new cost reduction actions are additional to those the company executed over the past four years. During this period, the company consolidated 17 of its North American and European manufacturing facilities, divested non-core businesses, reduced its global workforce by approximately 4,000 and implemented a business transformation program.

Chip McClure, chairman, CEO and president of ArvinMeritor, said: "Swift and decisive actions are necessary in response to today's global economic conditions, which include softness in all markets in which we participate, as well as weaker foreign currencies."
