Liebherr Kirchdorf: Short -time work is announced due to the decline in order

The turbulent location in the construction industry picks up speed again, and the well -known construction machine manufacturer Liebherr adapts to the challenges. After Biberach and Bad Schussenried, short -time work is now also announced in Kirchdorf an der Iller. This decision shows that the current economic constitution forces companies to use measures that enable a temporary reduction in working hours.

at the Kirchdorf location, known for the production of hydraulic excavators, the short -time work for November 1 was announced. This decision concerns the employees in the company's founding work and will probably remain in force for six months. This is not an isolated measure, but follows existing short -working rules in the Biberach and Bad Schussenried works, which have been in place for around 1,000 employees since September

Details on the current situation at Liebherr

The Liebherr-Hydraulikbagger GmbH in Kirchdorf produces a variety of machines and technologies, which has previously been stable compared to economic fluctuations. Nevertheless, the company reports on a decline in the high order stock, which is due to the general cooling of the economy. Marc Wiedenmann, a marketing employee at the location, expressed that a “subsequent relief” in various areas of production could be expected in the coming months.

In addition to the short -time work, closing days could also be necessary, while the company reduces overtime in order to be able to better manage the economic changes. Despite the challenges, the company is optimistic about being able to temporarily survive the economic fluctuations.
The production facility in Kirchdorf an der Iller, founded in 1949, extends over an area of 435,000 square meters and thus has an important role in the mechanical engineering industry.

Developments at Liebherr illustrate the current challenges in the construction industry and the need to react flexibly to the market. Due to the falling order situation, more and more companies in the country have to consider similar measures, which further increases uncertainty in the industry. How the situation is evolving remains to be seen, especially with regard to the associated effects on the employees and the entire industry.
