Leather factory Vogl is to make 115 out of its 120 employees redundant, according to information by the Public Employment Service (AMS) Austria.
The company, which produces high-end leather, which is used primarily in the automotive industry, has denied the closure of the factory, which was previously reported in the media. However, almost all of its workforce is to be made redundant. According to the AMS, a policy package for 115 employees has been worked upon since April. Qualification measures in an already existing re-employment scheme for the aluminium sector have been provided to them. Part of the employment relationships of affected employees has already been terminated.
In 2011, the company has been taken over by the German Prevent company. Allegedly, the production is to be moved to Slovenia.
