After a loss of $16.1m for the six months to December, office automation and Unix systems specialist NBI Inc, Boulder, Colorado is having to take a series of measures to cut its costs. It is reorganising its Computer Systems Division, reducing its workforce by about 200 people, 11.1%, and is also closing office supplies plants in Washington state and Alaska. Manufacture of its Model 570 Unix micro is transferring to its Integrated Solutions subsidiary in San Jose, California, leaving Boulder to concentrate on workstation manufacture. On the marketing side, however, it plans to increase staff by 10%. In Europe, the company has sold its NBI GmbH West German subsidiary to a master distributor and reduced NBI SA in France to service-only status pending introduction of new products so that it can focus on its more profitable international units here in the UK, in Canada and in Hong Kong.
