Hanácký masokombinát Olomouc, an important meat products producer, finished its production on 28 February 2005 and all 270 employees were dismissed. The plant, situated in industrial zone of Olomouc, is now being transformed into a logistic area. The main reason of the closure is the fact that the company cannot reflect increasing feed stock prices into final products.
