Description
Carlsberg will cut 500 jobs and close down its plant in Bromma. The production currently carried out in Bromma will be transferred to Falkenberg (Sweden), where 60 will be created. This decision has been made to face the slow upward trend in sales and results, due to the high-level excises and the focus that some distribution channels put on the low-price products. Only some dealers and inventory workers will keep their jobs in Bromma.
