Description

Meat processor Kaiser Food announced plans to dismiss 160-170 employees and 130 subcontracted employees. As reported, the lager part of the production activities will be relocated from Szolnok to other group sites in Slovakia (Losonc, Homonna), due to increasing production costs and overcapacities.
