Toshiba says no to Rostock: Millions of investment burst!

In a surprising turn, the Japanese group Toshiba has finally given up its plans for a settlement in Rostock. Originally, a factory for the assembly of the latest hybridloks, which would create around 200 new jobs, was to be created on the site of the Deutsche Bahn. The city had invested considerably in the project in recent years, including an access road for almost 6 million euros.

Now the economic development of the Hanseatic city explained that Toshiba had jumped off without giving an explanation for the decision. However, the existing maintenance work of Deutsche Bahn will continue to exist. The Ministry of Economic Affairs had promised millions to support the project. A request from NDR for the reasons for the location status has so far remained unanswered. Further information on this topic can be found on www.ndr.de .
