According to filings and two people familiar with the matter, Samsung Electronics America has cut roles in its display, mobile and other consumer-electronics units, mainly in New Jersey and Texas. About 739 positions at the Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey site are affected as SEA prepares to move its U.S. headquarters to Texas. SEA covers consumer electronics and does not include Samsung’s chip unit. The company said most affected employees were offered transfer opportunities; others were eliminated. One person who said they were laid off put the number at roughly 100 dismissed at SEA’s Plano, Texas office, including mobile staff. While tied to the HQ relocation, the cuts underscore a divergence within Samsung: the chip division has seen record profit gains while consumer electronics are under pressure from rising chip costs.
