Additional Information
Boxmark Leather, a supplier of leather products for the automobile industry, will close its production unit in Murska Sobota and terminate the employment contracts with all 184 workers by the end of 2019. A slowdown in the automotive industry and outdated technological equipment are reasons for the closure. Boxmark Leather, owned by the Austrian firm Schmidt, has rented facilities in Murska Sobota since 2015 from the bankrupt garment manufacturer Mura. Management said that some redundant workers might get a job at their production site in Kidričevo, but decline more specific information about the number of persons to be re-employed.
