Description

The production site as well as 3 stores of the Salzburg based bakery Flöckner is to be shut down by autumn 2013, making between 50 and 90 employees redundant.

This measure is due to outdated machinery, according to Mr Resch, CEO of the Resch&Frisch group, which has taken over Flöckner at the beginning of 2013.

Besides the closure of the central production site, three out of 15 stores in Salzburg are to be closed down. The production has already been partially moved to Wels, the headquarters of Resch&Frisch.
