Fortgex lays off 14 employees after the loss of a major customer

The background is that the metal company has lost one of its biggest customers, something that P4 Västmanland told last summer when the announcement became known. Now that the union negotiations are finished, it is also clear that only three civil servants will remain, something that VLT previously reported.

- It is heavy both for the forge and for the small community of Virsbo, says Vidar Antonsen.

During the notice period, 14 of those affected will continue to work, with the tasks that remain at the factory.

On Monday, SVT Nyheter Västmanland searched for Per Axelsson, CEO of Fortgex, without success.
