Description

Danish-capital fish-processing company Espersen Lietuva is to dismiss 70 employees in Klaipeda in 2023. The company has already informed the Public Employment Service about the dismissals. The main reason for the layoffs is a reduction in the company’s production volume. The company is giving up two out of four shifts. Production workers account for the largest number of all laid-off workers – 67 in total.

Espersen is a provider of frozen fish blocks, frozen fillets, specials cuts and other fish products. The company is based in Lithuania, with its head office in Klaipeda. Currently, the company employs 416 employees in Klaipeda.
