Description
The gum and sweets manufacturer Wrigley will make 160 workers redundant with the closure of its plan in Tarazona (Saragossa). In a communiqué, the company gave notification that the factory has suffered significant reduction in volume as a consequence of a drop in demand. The plant is therefore presently operating at 25% of capacity. The employees and workers committee have been notified of this end. The factory will maintain production activities and continue with normal operations untill negotations are finished.
