The company Mahle, manufacturer of pistons for diesel engines, announced the closure of two of its Italian plants in the Piemonte region, Saluzzo (province of Cuneo) and La Loggia (province of Turin). The company will start a collective dismissal procedures for 452 workers (209 in Saluzzo and 243 in La Loggia). Production currently undertaken in the two plants will be transferred to Poland.

Negotiations with workers' representatives will start soon and the company announced its willingness to consider every possible alternative measure to minimise the potential impact on the employees.
