A sad news for Bottrop: The Nadler plant on Scharnhölzstraße will stop production at the end of the year and thus close the doors for 170 employees. This decision triggered concern in the city and among the employees.
Bernd Tischer, the mayor of Bottrop, was surprised at the closure. "I am surprised by this message and regret the closure of the company extraordinarily. Nadler was a traditional brand and, as a delicat -cost manufacturer, fit well with a healthy mix of business branches in Bottrop," he said in a first reaction.
background of the closure
The closure of the Nadler plant is the result of a long and difficult path for the company. In the past, the work has always been on the edge of the closure, but both the workforce and the union had fought tirelessly to maintain the location. The history of the company was shaped by several sales. In 2009, the Homann industry giant took over the company before it was taken over two years later by a subsidiary of the delicat -cost manufacturer Wernsing.
In recent years, uncertainty about the future of the work has been omnipresent. While some responsible persons hoped for a rethink, there was a final decision that threatens a considerable number of jobs in the region.
The NGG union confirmed that production is not transferred to another location. This means that the 170 employees do not receive any alternatives within the company and thus have to worry about their professional future.
follow for the employees and the city
The upcoming closure of the Nadler plant is not only painful for the employees themselves, but also for Bottrop as a whole. The loss of such an established company, which has long been in the delicatessen area, leaves a gap that will be difficult to fill. The city has always campaigned for a various economic structure and Nadler represented an important part of this puzzle.
The decline in a traditional company like Nadler shows how the economic landscape in Bottrop and the surrounding area changes. When significant brands disappear, the question arises as to how the region will be economically established in the future. The city has already had experience in dealing with operational closures, but every further measure will not be easy.
In summary, it can be said that the closure of the Nadler plant initiates a critical phase for Bottrop. Despite the attempts by the workforce and the union to maintain the location, the decision was final, and the employees concerned must now prepare for possible new beginnings. It remains to be seen how the city can reorient itself economically according to this significant loss.a sign of challenges in the catering market
The situation around the Nadler plant not only stands for the problems of a single company, but also reflects the challenges with which the entire industry is faced. At a time when consumer habits and market requirements change, companies are also required to always rethink their strategies. Some of these changes are due to the competition from new market participants and changing consumer behavior.
The closure of the Nadler plant can be seen as a profound warning signal that not only affects employees, but also everyone who wants to work or work in this area. The future of the delicatessen is uncertain, and companies are encouraged to adapt to new circumstances if they want to survive in hard competition.
Bottrops Mayor Bernd Tischer was informed yesterday that the Nadler plant on Scharnhölzstrasse closes at the end of the year. According to information from the company and the NGG union, production is not transferred to another location, but is finally closed. Around 170 employees are affected.
"I am surprised by this message and extremely regrets the closure of the company," said Tischler in a first statement. "Nadler was a traditional brand and, as a delicat -cost manufacturer, fit well with a healthy mix of businesses in Bottrop."
long struggle for the Bottroper location has now come to an end
The existence of the Nadler plant on Scharnhölzstrasse has been on the brink several times in recent years. The company and union had repeatedly fought for the workforce and the preservation of the location. In 2009 the company was taken over by the Homann industry giant, at the turn of the year 20222/23 by a subsidiary of the delicat -cost manufacturer Wernsing.
background and economic factors
The closure of the Nadler plant in Bottrop can be viewed in the context of the challenges with which the food industry in Germany is confronted. Rising raw material prices, changes in consumption behavior and increasing competition in the delicatessen have led to a difficult economic environment. SMEs in particular (small and medium -sized companies) are often particularly susceptible to this dynamic landscape. An investigation by the IFO Institute shows that in the food industry in 2023, many companies suffer from margins, which can lead to numerous bankruptcies and location aids.
In addition, digitization plays a crucial role. Companies are forced to fundamentally innovate their production methods and sales channels in order to remain competitive in the market. According to a study by the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK), many companies see digitization one of the greatest challenges of the coming years.
statistics on industry and employment
The effects of closing the Nadler plant on the labor market in Bottrop should not be underestimated. Overall, the unemployment rate in Bottrop is currently around 8.2 % (as of 2024), which is above the national average. Closes such as those of the Nadler plant can further burden the regional economy and tighten the situation for the employees concerned.
According to the State Statistical Office of North Rhine-Westphalia, around 75,000 people work in the food industry in North Rhine-Westphalia. Job reduction or closures of companies affect the local economy and the employment rate. In view of the increasing automation and rationalization in the industry, the perspectives of some jobs are uncertain.
As the NGG union emphasizes, it is crucial that affected employees receive support and perspectives, be it through operational restructuring or through further training and qualification.
