ECCO is dissolving its operations at factories in Portugal and Ho Chi Minh City as part of a global restructuring aimed at cutting costs. The Vietnam factory, which began operations in 2020, is expected to impact between 1,400 and 1,600 workers. The Portuguese factory, which opened in 1984, employs about 650 workers, and the company is also losing approximately 400 additional positions globally.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The closures reflect ongoing financial pressure, as ECCO posted a net loss of 25.0 million euros in 2025 and saw its net revenue fall 5.2 percent that year. These moves reduce manufacturing options across Europe, with production shifting to locations such as China, Indonesia, and Thailand.
