"NCR expects the remaining redundancy process for employees directly involved in manufacturing roles to be complete by the end of July."

He said that about 170 employees would remain in manufacturing operations in Dundee once the restructuring was complete.

"This is in addition to around 600 positions in engineering and advanced development, services support operations, product management and marketing," he said.

The leader of Dundee City Council, Kevin Keenan, said: "Although this news is not unexpected, it is still a sad day for the individuals who have been told that they are being made redundant, and for their families.

"A cloud of uncertainty has been hanging over the people involved at NCR in Dundee for more than six months, and while the announcement clarifies one aspect of their immediate future, it still leaves them facing an insecure period in their lives."
