Description

On 29 April 2020, the meat manufacturer Zur-Mühlen-Gruppe announced to close down its site in Börger by the end of the year. Some 160 employees will be affected by the closure. Zur-Mühlen-Gruppe bought the site in the autumn of 2019. After a careful check, the company now announced that the site was not able to compete on the market and did not fit the group's portfolio. Therefore, the company decided to shut it down. So far, no further information on the implementation of the redundancies was released.
