The dismissals represent the first phase of internal restructuring, the goal of which is the modernisation of equipment. Meanwhile, a subsidiary of the company, Dráva Tej, which produces dairy products, is facing severe financial difficulties as a result of which the new owner of Dráva Coop closed down a dairy firm in Kacsóta, in Baranya county, Southern Hungary, causing the dismissal of its 40 employees.
