Brazilian footwear manufacturer, Alpargatas, which supplies several top brands including Mizuno and Timberland, has announced 600 job cuts at its factory in Veranópolis, Rio Grande do Sul. The move comes as a result of lower production at the facility following the company’s decision to transfer most of its production to its Natal units and João Pessoa, in the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Paraíba, both in the Northeast of the country.
