Description

Prevent, manufacturer of car seat covers based in Slovenj Gradec, is to reduce the number of its employees by 300-400 workers. The reason is a reduction of orders of approximately 40% from the company's traditional customers due to a downturn in the car manufacturing industry. The company's ‘automobile division' currently employs 1,300 people.
