Emanuel Boeminghaus stated that new layoffs plans affecting a total of around 11,300 jobs have been announced in Germany this week. The job cuts are picking up speed, he explained. The biggest projects mentioned by Boeminghaus include Galeria Kaufhof, which plans to close about 30 of its remaining 83 branches during its fourth bankruptcy; approximately 4,000 jobs will be affected. BioNTech plans to close three plants in Tübingen, Marburg, and Idar-Oberstein by the end of 2027 or 2028, resulting in 1,800 job cuts. At VW's software subsidiary Cariad in Wolfsburg and Berlin, 1,000 positions are at stake, and at Bosch in Nuremberg, 900 jobs will be affected—half of the positions there are expected to be eliminated by 2029. Boeminghaus also cited further announced closures and cuts at Bohai Automotive in Harzgerode with 550 positions by January 31, 2027, Schmitz Cargobull in Horstmar with 500 jobs by 2030, and the city of Paderborn with 390 full-time positions in administration. The foundry in Uckermünde is set to cost 320 jobs, including those of temporary workers. The St. Elisabeth Hospital in Salzgitter-Bad will cease operations on September 30, 2026, affecting around 250 people. In Saxony-Anhalt, according to Boeminghaus, the Schlote Group in Harzgerode and Wenigerode are set to close by January 31, 2027, affecting 180 positions, and Getriebe- und Antriebstechnik Wenigerode will close at the end of January 2027, affecting around 130 jobs. The recycling plant of TRIMET Aluminium in Harzgerode is expected to close by November 30, 2026, affecting 64 positions. Westlake intends to close its PVC plant in Cologne in the first quarter of 2027 and cut 150 jobs. Kodi plans to close 43 of its 143 branches instead of 19, which, according to Boeminghaus, will affect around 150 additional positions. Up to 150 jobs are affected at Aldi Süd in Mülheim. The cessation of granulation at K+S in Sehnde by the end of 2028, affecting around 130 positions, the closure of the Wolters brewery in Braunschweig on December 31, 2026, after nearly 400 years, affecting around 125 jobs, as well as two waves of layoffs at Moldtecs in Sonneberg by the end of 2027, affecting 120 positions were also mentioned. Avo Carbon in Frankfurt-Kalbach is set to close in 2027, affecting 94 jobs, the machinery manufacturer Paul Köster in Medebach plans to cut 90 positions, and Gruber Polstermöbel in Sonnefeld will close after 100 years, affecting 85 positions.

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the foundry in Ueckermünde should close at the end of 2026; this would result in 290 employees losing their jobs. The plant primarily produces cast parts for automotive brakes and, according to the Breyden Group, has not been sufficiently utilized for some time. According to Boeminghaus, the site management had indicated a lack of orders at the beginning of 2026 and attempted to attract new customers and modernize production. These efforts have reportedly been unsuccessful, according to NDR. The Breyden Group had only taken over the plant in 2025; negotiations about a social plan are now to be held with the works council. Boeminghaus described the closure as further evidence of how a lack of orders and the crisis in the automotive industry put established industrial sites under pressure. https://t.co/zQxr7DGBSA #Autoindustrie #Arbeitsplätze #Industrie (translated)

Ich bin sehr gespannt, welche #Rentenreform dann 2035 kommt, wenn es kaum noch Chemieindustrie, Automotive, Maschinenbau, Einzelhandel, Gießereien, Baugewerbe, Gastronomie, Logistik, Metallverarbeitung, Möbelindustrie, Textilindustrie, Papierindustrie, Druckereien und klassische Medien gibt. Dass die deutsche Wirtschaft trotz wirklich massiver Probleme in großen Teilen mit der neuen Rentenreform erneut mit bis zu 30 Milliarden Euro belastet wird, kann man mit Fug und Recht als völlig irre bezeichnen. #Rentenreform #Wirtschaft #Zukunft

Deutschlands 545 Gießereien kämpfen derzeit fast alle ums Überleben. Eine Schlüsselindustrie warnt vor der schwersten Krise seit dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs. #Industrie #Gießereien #Energiekrise #Deutschland Krise: In Deutschland gibt es noch 545 Gießereien. Laut Bundesverband der Deutschen Gießerei Industrie befindet sich die Branche in der schwersten Krise der Nachkriegszeit und kämpft mit hohen Energiepreisen, CO₂ Kosten und wachsender Bürokratie. Folgen: Der Produktionsindex der Gießereien liegt laut IW Consult rund 35 Prozent unter dem Niveau von 2018. Eine weitere Halbierung der Produktion könnte nach Berechnungen rund 65 Milliarden Euro Wertschöpfung und 588.000 Arbeitsplätze kosten. Der Verlust dieser Industrie würde weit über die Branche hinaus zahlreiche Wertschöpfungsketten in Deutschland treffen. Vielen Dank für den wichtigen Hinweis!
