Leoni, a leading provider of cables and cable systems to the automotive sector and other industries, said it has no plans to close its Tunisian plant in Mateur North.

Denying media reports of unit closure, Leoni stated that the production at the Tunisian site was briefly hit (from Friday to Sunday) due to unlawful behaviour of certain employees.

The German cable giant said it had resumed production again today (February 13).
