This major order is a necessary contribution to the restructuring plan and brings a breath of fresh air for a large part of the workforce in Wieselburg after the job cuts announced in spring. The cost-cutting programme will continue as planned with the reduction of 600 jobs (340 of them temporary workers) until the end of 2024. “We would like to express our special thanks to all employees who have remained loyal to us and who are counting on the future of the Wieselburg site. With the successful cost reduction programme and the major order, we see light at the end of the tunnel,” says site manager Andreas Nix.
