Schrader makes tyre pressure gauges for the car industry
The US firm Schrader Electronics is to release 42 temporary employees from its Carrickfergus, County Antrim, plant before the end of the year.
The company makes tyre pressure gauges for the car industry. It employs about 1,000 people in Northern Ireland.
Schrader said it had increased its workforce temporarily towards the end of last year to meet increased demand.
It said it was undertaking a phased return to its "standard manufacturing pattern" as demand had now stabilised.
