Layoffs & Downsizing
Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Effective as of the end of 2012, the Nordex Group will
reduce the work force by around 130 positions at its rotor blade production
facility in Dongying. In doing so, it is responding to the declining capacity
utilisation at its Chinese rotor blade production facility and the losses
sustained in China. "By reducing structural costs, we want to take steps to
ensure sustainable profitability in our Chinese activities by the end this
year," explains Jürgen Zeschky, Nordex's CEO.
Until demand in China recovers Nordex will use external suppliers, who have
previously worked for the company, to cover all of its rotor blade requirements
for current and future contracts.
