Slaughterhouse giant Danish Crown has closed two locations in the mid-Funen town of Faaborg. Just before the axe fell employees were called to an information meeting. The company said in a release that the changes were necessary if the company was to stay competitive. The last few months efforts were made to resolve how to responsibly resolve the current challenge of overcapacity while maintaining a sharp focus on costs.
