Description

Radiator factory Brugman in Tubbergen will close next year. It is part of the Swiss Arbonia Group. Production will move to sister companies’ sites in Germany and Poland. As a result, all 107 permanent employees will lose their jobs. Production will continue until at least October 2022. The radiator market in the Netherlands has been shrinking by half over the past decade.
