Description
Low costs of textile manufacture in Asian and African markets were behind the decision of Tekstina (a textile company producing combed and carded yarns, shirt and light fabrics) to close its spinning mill employing 60 workers. Half of those are a protected category which awaits re-employment in firm's weaving and finishing units and prior retirement. 20 to 25 workers face direct dismissal. The abandoned production will be substituted through imports from Turkey and Egypt mainly, management stated.
