Description

Sfinx, based in České Budějovice, a traditional producer of enamelled stainless and steel crockery in the Czech Republic (founded in 1893), was closed and 130 workers lost their jobs. The main reason is a long-term loss-making production and the competition pressure from Southern Europe and Asia.
