Brass mill Dziedzice to cut up to 150 jobs in Poland

Brass rolling mill Walcownia Metali Dziedzice (Boryszew Group, in operation for 130 years) is cutting 200 of its 447 jobs — nearly half the workforce. Management cites the difficult situation in the European metal-processing market (high energy costs). Consultations with unions on severance terms are due to conclude by 20 July; the reduction runs from late August to the end of November. Follow-up (21 July 2026): plant management and unions agreed on the terms of the cuts — at most 150 employees instead of 200 will lose their jobs; the layoffs start as early as July 2026 and run until February 2027, with graduated severance of 2–3 monthly salaries (up to 9 for those close to retirement).
