Ursus Breweries company, manufacturer of beer, announced the dismissal of 150 employees with the closure of the Cluj Napoca factory. The decision was motivated by the decrease in market demand by 25% over the last year. The management stated that the dismissed persons will receive compensatory packages and support for vocational training.
