FUNDERMAX in Neudörfl: 60 jobs due to market development at risk

In a regrettable turn, the FUNDERMAX company decided to adapt a capacity at the Neudörfl location, which affects up to 60 jobs. Gernot Schöbitz, Managing Director of Fundermax, explained that the decision was influenced by a combination of a weak economy, unfavorable market developments and increasing price pressure.

FUNDERMAX, an established manufacturer of high -quality raw chipboard, employs around 200 people in Neudörfl. The location has a long tradition and has been in operation for more than 50 years.

Engagement for the workforce

The workforce has already been informed about the changes. Fundermax confirms that you will work closely with the works council and try to offer affected employees alternative positions within the company. A social plan is also drawn up to facilitate the transition for the employees.
