Baťa to close its only European manufacturing plant
Czech footwear company Baťa has announced plans to close its only manufacturing plant in Europe. The facility, located in Dolní Němčí, has been in operation since 1970.
The company stated that the plant is no longer profitable given current market demand. The closure will be carried out gradually throughout the coming year, resulting in the loss of 92 jobs. Baťa is currently negotiating with the local municipality, the labor office, and trade unions to assist affected employees in finding new employment.
