Jabil, an American electronics multinational, has initiated collective redundancy procedures for 413 employees at its Marcianise facility (Caserta), announcing the cessation of its Italian operations by March. Under Law 223/91, the redundancies will take effect within 75 days.
The company, which recorded losses exceeding 40 million in 2019, had proposed an alternative solution through the sale of the site to TME Engineering with Invitalia's participation, but workers and trade unions rejected the agreement, leading to the closure of the historic Italian plant.
