Description
Polish producer of electric components for the automotive industry, Bury, announced that it will cut 500 jobs through a collective dismissal programme at its production facility in Mielec, Poland. Redundancies will be carried out by 10 October 2020. The programme is related to the Covid-19 pandemic and was registered by the company at the local employment agency in Mielec. The restructuring programme is associated with a drop in demand which has affected the automotive industry generally.
Bury, a family company, was founded in 1987; currently, the company operates in Poland, Germany and Mexico, employing about 2,000 people. The company supplies its products to such companies as Daimler, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW and Porsche.
