Agromesa, the Lithuanian company engaged in processing and preserving of poultry meat, intends to dismiss 100 employees in Kaunas. According to the management, the company cannot continue its activities after a fire destroyed their poultry processing plant in March 2017. Agromesa claims that the insurance company refuses to pay all the benefits due to them; for this reason the company has to lay off 100 employees. Currently the company employs 158 employees.
