Anora restructure to cost up to 80 jobs
Koskenkorva Vodka owner Anora Group will restructure the organisation to improve efficiency and profitability, with up to 80 jobs to be lost.
The company will launch cooperation negotiations in its home markets, assessing approximately 500 employee roles.
Anora Group estimates this could result in cutting around 70-80 jobs in 2025.
Consequentially, the Nordic company is targeting a reduction in personnel expenses of approximately €7 million (US$8.3m), which it said would be visible in 2026.
Anora Group, headquartered in Helsinki in Finland, said the cooperation negotiations will start in October.
It noted that the planned measures and changes could be subject to local consultation requirements in some countries where the company operates.
To continue improving profitability, efficiency and cost-competitiveness, Anora will split its strategy into two phases: Fit & Fix, and Focus.
Fit & Fix will aim to deliver short- and mid-term improvements throughout the remainder of 2025 and 2026.
Focus will look at driving growth beyond 2026.
In August, the company posted its latest financial results, which dropped by 5.3% during the first half of 2025. Anora Group’s net sales fell to €324m (US$378.7m), with spirits accounting for €98.5m (US$115.1m).
In our Big Interview with Anora Group CEO Kirsi Puntila earlier this year, she openly discussed how her directive was to restore organic growth to the company. The interview covered her short-, mid-term and long-term objectives for the group, and her broader insights into the spirits world.
Meanwhile, in October last year, Anora Group created a dedicated commercial branch in Lithuania to grow its position in the Baltics.
