Safilo and the Slovenian trade unions and work council reach agreement on the closure of the production site in Ormoz

Padua/Ormoz, April 14, 2021 – Safilo announces that an agreement has been reached with the trade unions and the work council regarding the closure of the Ormož production site starting from June 2021.

The agreement provides the following social measures:

  • higher severances

  • higher holiday bonus (Regres za letni dopust)

  • additional pay out for employees under agreed social criteria

  • jubilee awards for employees who would otherwise not receive them, but would be entitled to them if still employed on 31.12.2021

  • Safilo’s waiver of its claims under the decision of the Higher Labour and Social Court towards disabled employees

“This agreement is part of our broader strategy aimed at ensuring a solid and sustainable future for the Group,” comments Angelo Trocchia, CEO of Safilo Group. “I would like to thank the trade unions who have worked with us in a constructive way to reach an agreement aimed at minimizing the social impact of this difficult decision and the Slovenian Institutions with which we have established a transparent and fruitful dialogue.”
