Description
Tulip Food Company is to close its factory in Brabrand with effect from end of September 2007. The 186 employees will be made redundant by the closure. Tulip wants to relocate the production to other factories in Denmark and Germany, where labour costs are lower.
The decision was announced on 15 November 2006 and according to the Act on notice in relation to collective redundancies the management and the employees' representative have 21 days to negotiate the conditions of the closure. Tulip says that the company will offer most of the redundant employees jobs in other factories in Denmark, especially at the new large plant in Horsens. The factory in Brabrand is 52 years old, and the machinery is no longer able to meet the demands of new production methods, the management said.
