After a long period of hesitation, the Rieter industrial group is now curbing the economy. 300 jobs to go. Also, “more market and volume-related adjustments of 400 to 600 business rows could come,” according to a Thursday statement.
Spinning machine manufacturer Rieter has so far received significantly fewer orders this year. With no signs of a quick recovery, there are massive layoffs. Incoming orders decreased by 63 percent to 325 million francs in the first half of the year. The component and spare parts business is doing slightly better, especially as demand for new machines is falling.
no surprise
In itself, the decline is no surprise. Analysts had expected this after things fell sharply in the second half of 2022. However, the currently reported figure is below the expectations of experts.
Rieter, whose main shareholder Peter Spuhler (63) owns a third of the shares, is now planning its next savings programme. This should reduce costs by around CHF 80 million per year. The company currently employs 5555 people worldwide. The announcement does not specify where the dismantling will take place. (SDA/lui)
