Description
Manuel Nunes & Fernandes II, Lda., a Portuguese food distribution company closed and dismissed all its 400 workers.
The company justifies the decision with the deepening economic crisis and a very strong competitive pressure, which led to a diminished activity that did not generate the funds necessary for the company to meet all its financial commitments.
