Nokia also plans to close an automotive business there and is negotiating with Sasken Technologies to sell a Bochum-based software research and development entity, the company said in a news release.The Bochum site was not &quot;globally competitive,&quot; Nokia said. Additional investments would not make the site competitive, the company said.Nokia, based in Finland, announced last March that it was opening a manufacturing plant in Romania. The company also has a plant in Hungary.Market changes and &quot;increasing requirements for cost-effectiveness&quot; mean that &quot;production of mobile devices in Germany is no longer feasible for Nokia,&quot; Veli Sundb&#228;ck, executive vice president of Nokia, said in a statement. &quot;It cannot be operated in a way that meets the requirements for global cost efficiency and for flexible capacity growth. Therefore we have to make this tough decision.&quot;Nokia will negotiate with employee representatives to &quot;reach a satisfactory solution&quot; for everyone involved, the company said.
