Description
Konradin Druck, a German company in the printing industry based in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, is to cease operations by the end of June 2025 and is laying off all 110 employees.
The closure follows a failed attempt to find investors for the insolvent company. The main reasons for the economic difficulties were the industry-wide decline in demand for printing, the insolvency of a major customer and falling order numbers as a result of the crisis in the automotive supply industry, an important customer segment.
All employees will be made redundant. A social plan is currently being drawn up in consultation with the works council. Reactions from trade unions or other social partners have not yet been made public.
Konradin Druck was founded in 1929 and was part of the Konradin Media Group; the company most recently employed around 110 people at its site in Leinfelden-Echterdingen.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
