The American owner of ClydeUnion Pumps has announced plans to shed about 90 jobs from the firm's plant in Glasgow.

North Carolina-based industrial equipment firm SPX said the move was part of a restructuring process involving up to 100 job losses globally.

Over the next 30 days, SPX will consult with unions on redundancies at ClydeUnion's Cathcart facility.

A total of 980 staff are currently employed at the engineering plant.

SPX bought the pumping solutions business from Scottish engineering entrepreneur Jim McColl in 2011 for 拢750m.

ClydeUnion was formed in 2007 through the acquisition and integration of several pump manufacturers on both sides of the Atlantic.
