As announced on 07 November 2023, the German woodworking machinery manufacturer Homag will be cutting 350 jobs in Germany until the end of 2024.
The company intends to achieve the restructuring via a voluntary programme and early retirement programmes. As of today, there is no information on the distribution of job cuts per location in Germany available.
The job reduction is part of a worldwide restructuring programme in order to become more efficient and reduce capacities. The programme will affect 600 employees worldwide and will save Homag approximately €25 million in costs in 2024 and from 2025 onwards approximately €50 million annually.Currently, Homag has 7,500 employees worldwide.
