Description
The Austrian subsidiary of the Germany-based provider of integrated transport and logistics services, Schenker, is to cut 100 jobs in Austria and 200 in south-eastern European countries. The activities in the latter group of countries are managed from the Viennese regional headquarters. Even though overall turnover could be increased by 11% during 2008, the worldwide economic crisis has severely hit the company since November 2008, with losses of 30% in tonnages transported since then.
