Description
Schaidt Innovations, a German electronic manufacturing services provider, announced plans to cut 280 jobs at its site in Wörth-Schaidt. Employees were offered the opportunity to move to a transition company. Schaidt Innovations has been suffering from a lack of orders for some time. To overcome the crisis and find an investor, the company hired external experts, inter alia business experts and legal professionals from the EBS University Wiesbaden, from the BMI Lab and the BGW Management Advisory Group. The team of employees is meeting regularly to work through the opportunities of Schaidt Innovations. Since the beginning of 2015 the company has been looking for investors but the expert team is confident that a new investor will be found by Christmas this year.
