Description
Revoz is a car manufacturer located in Novo Mesto (Jugovzhodna Slovenija region) and owned by the French group Renault. Since the market potential for Twingo and Smart forfour cars was overestimated, Revoz announces a ten-percent contraction in the production of vehicles (from 42 to 38 per hour) after the abolition of the night shift in spring this year. As a result, 150 agency workers will loose their job in October 2015. After internal restructuring, 2,250 workers will be still employed.
