Mass layoffs announced at Polish manufacturing plants

Multiple manufacturing facilities in Poland are facing significant workforce reductions. At the TN Polska plant in Kraśnik, the company has announced planned group layoffs affecting a large portion of its approximately 400 employees. The company attributed this decision to global restructuring and the need to improve competitiveness, noting that production will be gradually transferred to other group facilities through September of next year.

In Kobylnica, the Polipol Group has decided to completely close the Maripol Meble Polska furniture factory. This closure will result in 259 employees, including physical laborers, office staff, and apprentices, losing their jobs. The decision has caused significant distress among the workforce, some of whom have been with the company for decades. This closure follows a trend of industrial downsizing in the Słupsk district, where over 2,500 people have lost jobs due to group layoffs in recent years.
