Description
Nolik is manufacturer of furniture for children, for the equipment of kindergartens and schools or other buildings, located in KoÄevje in the Jugovzhodna Slovenija region. The company employs 170 people. In 2012, Nolik lost its major customer, i.e. Stokke, who relocated the production of tripp-trapp chairs for kids to Bulgaria. Nolik’s sales and production were reduced by half. Since then, the company has not been able to regain normal performance. As a result the company entered the bankruptcy procedure. All 170 employees will lose their job.
