With “ONE Kiefel” toward a successful future
With the “ONE Kiefel” strategy, the company aims to increase its innovative capacity and increase proximity to customers in all relevant markets. In addition to the existing business areas of polymer, fiber and Medical & Pharma, the focus lies on all segments with great growth potential and a wide customer base, such as standard automation, to make better use of market opportunities and expand the product portfolio. The modifications are required due to the challenging market situation in machine engineering and intensified global competition. This strategic focus also involves changes to job profiles and organizational structures.
Plans to set up new structures
As a result, and due to the accompanying consolidation of sites, an estimated 100 jobs are planned to be eliminated at the Freilassing site. About one quarter will be the result of natural fluctuations, such as retirements or the expiration of fixed-term contracts. Employees were informed today in person during an employee meeting about the strategy for the future and the planned measures.
