UAB „Diab“, a manufacturing plant operating in Šiauliai, Lithuania, for two decades, has announced plans to wind down its operations and lay off 75 employees. The decision comes as the plastic product manufacturer struggles to sustain its business model amid competition from Chinese producers.
Local media reports confirm that the plant’s impending closure will strip the city of an industrial employer. According to updates from outlets like Verslo Žinios, shifting market dynamics and competition have rendered continued manufacturing unviable at the Šiauliai facility.
The impending layoffs leave dozens of industrial workers facing unemployment in the northern Lithuanian manufacturing hub.
