Gastrolux, a producer of footwear, has announced the closure of its site in Veselí nad Moravou with the loss of 300 jobs. Production at the plant ceased at the end of April 2007, and the company is currently facing bankruptcy. Approximately half of the affected workers have been registered at the local labour office.
