Magna closes work in Rosenberg: More jobs in Baden-Württemberg away!

Magna closes work in Rosenberg: More jobs in Baden-Württemberg away!

shock for the workforce! The traditional car supplier Magna announces the closure of his work in Rosenberg. By the end of 2026, the employees will have to leave the factory in the Neckar-Odenwald district, which again fueled the concerns about brake shoes and auto parts for one of the largest automotive suppliers in the world. Magna, global with over 168,000 employees, joins a worrying series of location losses in Baden-Württemberg.

But that's not all! Around 350 jobs are in danger. The exact scope of the layoffs remains uncertain, while a works meeting unveiled the worrying news on October 14th. Orders must be processed before the final closure, but the company is already planning to cut the first 100 jobs from 2025! In order to smooth the waves, a voluntary program and a social plan should be worked out.

Farewell to another location

The closure of the work in Rosenberg is the second bitter pill for the region this year after Magna already wanted to close the production facility in Dürbheim. The location in Rosenberg not only becomes self-employed, but also opens up the curtain for other factories: in Germany, Magna factories in countries such as North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony-Anhalt and other parts of Baden-Württemberg remain in the focus of the wave of closure. But the condition of the "Magna Powertrain" division proves to be mixed-a factory in Cologne is already in the final phase of closure. The end of a chapter-rich "Made in Germany" in the automotive area seems to be sealed!
