Logitech, a well known peripherals manufacturer has announced its plans to lay off 15% of their workforce. The reason for this is weak consumer demand and the global economic crisis.

Logitech also announced that they will have additional restructuring in the fiscal fourth quarter, but they’ll provide details after they see Q3 results.
