KTM starts production at the end of July: Hope for 3,000 jobs!

Mattighofen, Österreich - The KTM AG in Mattighofen is facing a fresh start after the renovation process has been successfully completed. As Leadersnet , the production of the renowned motorcycle manufacturer will start again at the end of July 2025. This development is particularly gratifying because the Indian co -owner Bajaj has transferred the necessary financial resources. The company can therefore not only raise production, but also fulfill its obligations towards creditors.

In the course of the renovation process, the plans of KTM AG, KTM Components GmbH and the KTM Research & Development GmbH were approved by the Ried regional court. Gottfried Neumeister, CEO of Pierer Mobility AG, was relieved to successfully complete the procedures. The focus is now on the production of the production until the end of July and reorganizing the group, such as economic importance for the region

The resumption of production is vehemently supported by the State Council of Economics Markus Achleitner, who underlined the importance of the renovation for the jobs in the region. Particularly noteworthy is the training of 185 apprentices, which will continue to be promoted. Neumeister also emphasizes how important the loyalty of employees in this critical phase is. KTM remains one of the largest employers in the Innviertel and has actively committed to supporting employees and applicants in finding an apartment.

The financing by Bajaj is a central component of the preliminary insolvency procedure and was considered necessary to pay a bar quota of 30 percent to the creditors. According to Industriemagazin , the sum of around 600 million euros must be received by the renovation recipient Peter Vogl, to avert the bankruptcy. However, the continued existence of the company seems to be secured for the time being.

outlook and strategic orientation

The combination of international claim and regional anchorage is highlighted as a central success factor for KTM. Neumeister sees great opportunities for the brand in the new tailwind and for the Austrian locations. By ensuring the financial resources, it is optimistic that KTM is well positioned in order to emerge from the crisis.

The future of the over 3,000 jobs at the two locations in Mattighofen and Munderfing remains uncertain, which worries employees. In this way, KTM is cautiously about further information about the financing commitment, which leads to a certain uncertainty among the employees.
