Focus on security and flexibility

Stuttgart/Germany, September 24, 2020 - As part of its strategic restructuring process, MAHLE has now defined the locations in Europe at which structural adjustments are necessary and thus where there is a particular need to take action. The group sees no prospect of the two German locations in Gaildorf (Baden-Württemberg) and Freiberg (Saxony) establishing an economically viable and sustainable position in the competitive environment, and their closure is therefore unavoidable. In addition, there will be adjustments to staffing levels at other locations in Germany and elsewhere in Europe. MAHLE has today informed the Economic Committee of its Central Works Council as well as the European Works Council and will soon enter into consultations with the relevant local employee representatives to discuss the details of the measures.
