Regarding production stops, three shifts will be deactivated in ferris wheel production to stop production of approximately 150 tons.
There will also be stops in two shifts at the metal weaving plant to stop production of about 4,800 square meters and in another eight shifts at a cable factory to stop production of about 88 tons of metal wire.
