WACKER Chemie: 200-mm Wafer Production to Be Shifted to Asia
Closure of the Wasserburg site will mean the loss of approx. 350 jobs. WACKER SILTRONIC's other business fields have seen order books improving in recent weeks. As a result, the Burghausen site is likely to cut just 260 jobs rather than the originally planned 450 over the next two years. WACKER SILTRONIC intends to achieve the cuts mainly through normal staff fluctuation.
Additional measures to reduce the 200-mm workforce include offers of alternative employment at other units and sites. The company already has over 200 jobs to offer, mainly at its Freiberg site in Saxony.
