Dovista is a large Danish manufacturer of windows, and will dismiss 49 employees in production in Ringkøbing. The company has announced it will close down its activities in Ringkøbing and move its activities to Poland, Lithuania and Herning (Denmark). Apart from the dimissals, 12 employees in other departments will be moved to Herning.
The company argues that construction is experiencing lack of demand and the company has to downsize its activities accordingly.
