The 'Violanta' company expressed its deep sorrow over the death of five employees in an explosion that occurred at its factory in Trikala early Monday morning. The company is committed to supporting the victims' families with significant financial assistance, including a monthly allowance equal to their salary until retirement age, monthly support for their children until adulthood, and an immediate payment equivalent to six months' salary. Additionally, it will provide psychological support to all employees.

Five other employees on duty survived and were taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons. The company stated that the shift was reduced due to the holiday, which may have prevented a larger tragedy.
