Why "Made In America" Could Cost Millions Their Job
Trump promised tariffs will bring jobs back to America. But the dark truth is, factories will soon be filled with a different kind of worker – one that doesn't unionize, get health care, or collect a traditional paycheck. Experts say this may accelerate a trend that could cost 300 million people their jobs, changing our economy and society for good.
The offer from Atlas Holdings does not include De La Rue’s authentication division, per the report. This comes after the banknote printer announced last week that it is close to concluding the sales of its authentication division to Crane NXT for 300 million pounds ($395.88 million).
The company has a market capitalization of 220 million pounds, according to data compiled by LSEG.
De La Rue and Atlas Holdings did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
De La Rue’s currency unit designs and prints banknotes, develops security features such as colour-shifting inks to prevent counterfeiting, and provides polymer substrate for more durable and eco-friendly banknotes.
