Description
Chirana Medical in Stará Turá, producer of dental, anaesthetic and breathing equipment, has announced it will dismiss 192 out of its 373 employees. Trade union representatives expect that redundancies will affect fewer workers, as it was the case of nearby Chirana Injection. The reason given for the dismissals is lower orders from regular customers in Russia, Hungary and Poland. Employment effect start and timeline were not yet announced.
