Schock für Winterthur: Zimmer Biomet möchte mehr als 500 Stellen abbauen
Der traditionsreiche Hersteller von Implantaten, früher Teil des Sulzer-Imperiums, könnte 80 Prozent der Belegschaft entlassen. Der Industriestandort Winterthur steht vor einer Zäsur.
Winterthur is facing a significant labor cut as Zimmer Biomet, a major medical technology manufacturer, plans to eliminate over 500 jobs in the city. The Swiss company, known for producing hip and knee implants, is undergoing a major restructuring process, part of its global production development. Zimmer Biomet, formerly part of Sulzer's empire, currently employs around 730 workers in Winterthur, with the potential to cut up to 580 positions.
The company is seeking alternatives to limit the workforce reduction. The local government and trade unions have expressed concern over the job cuts, with the city council mentioning its importance as an industrial employer and key player in the transition from machinery to high-tech industries.
