Description

Medea bakery in Košice, which is owned by Czech Delta Company associated with Luxembourg United Bakeries group, will reduce its production till the end of February 2007. Around 200 employees will be dismissed there. The main reason for the restructuring are the low prices in the local bakery market, which do not cover the real production costs in Medea bakery.
