BlackBerry is considering whether or not to shutter its operations in Sweden.
About 100 people work at the facility, which helped develop some BlackBerry smartphones such as the Z10. The company has initiated conversations with the employee unions at the facility in question and will make a final decision in the weeks ahead. BlackBerry has been on a course of aggressive cost-cutting as it seeks to trim operations that it sees as non-vital to its enterprise device management business.
Earlier this week it announced plans to acquire a secure file management company called WatchDox.
