STA, 29 January 2020 - The management of the Steklarna Rogaška glassworks announced on Wednesday the company would lay off up to 200 of what are presently 830 workers. It spoke of the need to increase efficiency in the face of constant changes in consumer habits and in the business environment.

The Finnish-owned company told the STA that the wish was to protect and support the very core of the glassworks and that it would closely cooperate with the workers and their representatives as the cut is made in the coming months.

Supply chain executive Mogens Hansen said this had been a very difficult decision and that the company would do all it can to provide support for the affected workers.

Announcing continuing investment, the management is confident Steklarna Rogaška, a company established in 1927, will remain an important centre for the manufacture of high-end crystal products.

Steklarna Rogaška became part of the Finnish corporation Fiskars in 2015. Fiskars has a 7,300-strong workforce in 30 countries.
