Fabrica Joyson Safety Systems din Jibou se închide

A major auto components factory in Jibou, Romania, is closing, resulting in nearly 100 job losses due to economic pressures. The factory, which supplied a significant German manufacturer, will cease operations on July 31, 2026, but employees were sent home last week. The closure exacerbates local unemployment, which is already above the national average, and many affected workers may struggle to find suitable jobs. The local employment agency plans to offer training and professional retraining programs to assist those impacted. Rising production costs and declining car demand in Europe are cited as key reasons for the factory's closure, with production potentially moving to Morocco.
