In March 2013 Polish construction company Ekomelbud based in Mrągowo announced bankruptcy. As a consequence, out of its 151 employees, 55 have already lost their jobs and the rest ones will be dismissed by the end of March 2013. Ekomelbud specializing in water projects, was founded in 1993 but has faced financial difficulties due to the decline on the construction sector in Poland.
