Dutch Mercedes Benz car dealer EMA has announced that it will cut 160 jobs after being declared bankrupt. According to the sources, the receiver tried to find investors for at least part of the business, but was unsuccessful. EMA lost its dealer contract with Mercedes in 2011 and, following this, the company’s bank were no longer willing to finance them.
