Description
MKT Print, a printing company from Ljubljana, has declared bankruptcy and will let go about 190 workers from a total workforce of 240. Only some 50 will retain their jobs. There are several reasons for the bankruptcy - a decline in orders, reduced prices for MKT Print services, payment arrears of customers and last year's investment in new machinery which gave rise to financial problems.
