Description
Stabilus, a German automotive supplier, has announced plans to cut 450 jobs worldwide.

The restructuring measures, including staff reductions and site optimisation, are expected to cost €18 million in the current fiscal year but should generate annual savings of €19 million by 2027 and €32 million thereafter.Stabilus is also affected by the new US tariffs.
Stabilus employs about 7,800 worldwide. In Europe, the company has its production sites in Germany, France, Poland, and the United Kingdom.
