Agreed. A very sad time, especially for the 350 losing their jobs. I have been informed that Marketing (Sales; Service/Tech Support; and Spare Parts) will remain for the foreseeable future.
Had many happy years with Linde at Abingdon, then at Basingstoke after the '88 takeover. Made many good friends in UK and abroad. Retired in '04 but still feel a loyalty to my old team and good friends.
I also understand that many are being laid off in A'burg, but they will be paid for up to 2 years.
