Zulieferindustrie: Schaeffler: Run auf Altersteilzeit
Die Möglichkeit von Altersteilzeit findet bei den Beschäftigten des Zulieferunternehmens Schaeffler großen Anklang. Mehr Menschen als von der Unternehmensführung erhofft machten davon Gebrauch.
Herzogenaurach - The "Age-Part-Time" program launched by automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler in August has been more popular than anticipated by the company's leadership. While 1,300 employees aged 1971 and older were expected to commit to the age-part-time scheme, 1,800 have already signed up, said CEO Klaus Rosenfeld in Herzogenaurach.
The voluntary job cuts of 4,700 positions planned for completion by the end of 2029 have been progressing faster than planned, with 3,715 positions already achieved by September 30, 2026. The target of 985 positions to be cut is expected to be reached earlier, by the end of 2028 instead of the planned year. For the remaining 985 positions, contractual agreements are already in place.
The anticipated savings of 290 million euros are expected to surpass the planned amount by 20 percent, according to Rosenfeld. Around 500 million euros reserved for restructuring could now be released, with 84 million euros in reserves possibly being canceled.
