VW plant Emden in danger: Shock paper brings closure into play!

Emden, Deutschland - The VW plant in Emden may face closure! An internal document of the board indicates that the automotive giant is seriously considering to give up the location. So far, it was convinced that the recently made investments of 1.3 billion euros in the conversion into an electric location would make a closure impossible. However, according to the “Handelsblatt”, the closure of the work Emden could bring savings of up to 600 million euros annually, which re -sparked the discussion about the future of the location.

The IG Metall and the works council had previously vehemently resisted discussions about location closings. Prime Minister Stephan Weil was concerned and asked that alternatives to factory closures had to be found in order to obtain the industrial substance of the Lower Saxony automotive industry. The situation remains tense, while the VW group thinks not only from Emden, but also from works in Osnabrück and Dresden.
