Levi Strauss plant in Plock, central Poland, will cease in mid-June and the factory will close by the end of November, the city's mayor has announced. During a press conference held at the city hall on April 4, 2024, Andrzej Nowakowski said that he had received information about the planned closure of the Levi Strauss clothing factory on the previous day, shortly before the factory director met with trade union representatives. When he asked about reasons for the plant's closure, Nowakowski was told that the decision was based on "high labour costs and high energy costs, which make production in Plock, and in Europe in general, far more expensive than in Asian countries".

Nowakowski said that a few months before he talked to the factory's management about its development, as well as about investments that were planned and have already been implemented. Nowakowski said that 650 people will lose their jobs due to the closure of the plant, approximately half of them being local residents. The Levi Strauss plant in Plock started production in 1992.

It operates on land belonging to the city, leased on preferential terms.
