Barry Callebaut, one of the world's largest chocolate manufacturers, has announced cost-cutting measures that may lay off up to 700-800 employees in various European Union countries. The giant owns chocolate brands such as Carma, Chocovic, and Stewart & Arnold.

The company has over 50 production sites worldwide, and the second-largest chocolate factory in Europe is in Poland, with approximately 280 people employed. This decision is a significant blow, given that Barry Callebaut is a giant in the FMCG sector.

A wave of layoffs on the Old Continent

A wave of collective redundancies is sweeping across Europe. Companies from various sectors, from automotive to clothing production, are reducing employment.

Global corporations that have operated in our country for many years are reducing their workforce or closing production facilities. As a result, thousands of people are losing their jobs. Entrepreneurs from the furniture, automotive, clothing, IT, banking, and services sectors are planning layoffs.
