Teknos Germany plans to relocate production
As a result of a strategic review of its production footprint in Germany Teknos has decided not to proceed with a new factory in Steinau an der Straße and plans to cease operations in Fulda, Germany.
The objective of this review was to develop plans to simplify the operational footprint while identifying opportunities to further develop the production and delivery capabilities of Teknos Deutschland GmbH. The company determined that the site in Brüggen offers more expansion and development options. Therefore, Teknos plans to relocate production from Fulda to the existing Brüggen site and develop its operations in there.
Teknos already informed its employees in Germany about the planned relocation of production from Fulda to Brüggen. Approximately 20 jobs in the production, logistics and R&D are affected by these plans. Jobs of employees outside production, logistics and R&D would not be affected. Teknos has now engaged in negotiations with the works council in Fulda.
