No future for the historic Pernigotti production plant in Novi Ligure. The new ownership of the confectionery company, the Turkish Toksoz group, after taking over the historic Italian company in 2013, decided to definitively close the factory in Piedmont. It is not yet clear if the brand will continue to live, certainly the production will move entirely to Turkey. The closure of Pernigotti in Novi Ligure will inevitably cause a chain of layoffs. The company currently still has 200 employees, of which 50 are in production and the rest in administration and sales. 100 layoffs have been announced.
