Nå avgjøres skjebnen til Norges eldste bedrift: – Et svik

Ulefoss, Norway's oldest operating company, faces an uncertain future as CK Partners considers shutting down production at the 369-year-old facility. Christoffer André Kasin, a longtime employee for 17 years, expressed his disappointment and concern for the local community at a recent meeting. Kasin fears that the closure would devastate the entire town, including transportation businesses, suppliers, and the locals who depend on the factory for their livelihoods.

The news of potential production shutdowns came as a shock, with many locals questioning the economic viability of the facility's operations over the past few years. Despite the challenges, there is hope that the decision will favor the continuation of the factory's operations, preserving the rich history and vibrant community that has thrived around Ulefoss Jernverk for centuries.
