On 19 August 2005 the manufacturer of TV sets and equipment Finlux, shut down the production due to bankruptcy. All employees of the 250 will be made redundant. The company has struggled for many years to find financing but the final trial to get new injection for the loss making factory resulted in the closure decision.
