Vimmerby's largest private companies lay off 450 employees

To Dagens Vimmerby, who was the first to tell about this, says the company's CEO Olle Björk that hardly any of the company's customers run.

"We have come to the conclusion that the situation for us is that all our customers close, either on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday next week," he tells Dagens Vimmerby.

- I wrote to the staff something like this is just money, it's just money we deal with. The reason we do this is to protect the weak and the elderly and protect them from dying. This is serious for real, says Olle Björk to Dagens Vimmerby.

Ljunghäll is a foundry and manufactures components for the automotive industry. The company has 600 employees in Södra Vi and on Thursday 75 people with fixed-term employment were dismissed.
