Siemens To Close Plant in Slovenia by End-Sept – Media

Siemens first negotiated with a potential buyer from Korea, but the company, Heung Il, backed out of talks due to the global financial crisis. Talks with Slovenske Zeleznice broke up last week, STA reported.

According to STA, the plant employs 322. STS workers called on the government to prevent the liquidation of the company with a 145-year tradition in train building, the agency reported. STS is located in Slovenia's second-largest city of Maribor.
