The planned closure of the Mahle factory in Mattighofen calls into action the engine manufacturer, also based in Mattighofen, which now wants to offer the 120 employees involved a job. Turbulence also at Fill Metallbau: 90 employees in Hohenzell have to leave in the middle of next year.
Turbulent times in the Innviertel economy! While the ABB group opened the new 100 million euros education and innovation campus at its subsidiary B&R in Eggelsberg on Monday morning, the 120 Mahle employees in Mattighofen were told almost simultaneously that the factory in the Innviertel would close by the end of 2024.
The automotive supplier is moving the production of oil coolers for cars with combustion engines to Poland. The radical cut calls on Pierer Mobility: the motorcycle manufacturer, which is also based in Mattighofen and owns brands such as KTM and Husqvarna, wants to offer all Mahle employees involved a job.
Fill Metallbau to divorce 90 employees
Fill Metallbau in Hohenzell also tries to provide a safety net for its employees. The company went bankrupt in 2017 and 2018. Now the metal construction specialist is being challenged again: 90 of the 110 employees have to leave in the middle of next year as part of a restructuring, existing orders are still being processed.
The move would be in close consultation with the banks. The reasons for the recent problems are increased energy and raw material costs, material shortages and delivery delays.
