Production facilities at Arnsberg, Leutkirch, Nidda and Gschwend are to benefit from the package, entitled Future BC West, which will be implemented over the next 24 months.
The €31m spend will accompany improvements in the current pay model for Pfleiderer, which could see a bonus-based system put into place.
“In turning these measures into reality, we are not only safeguarding the long-term profitability of our German sites and their continuation,” said Robert Hopperdietzel, who is responsible for Pfleiderer’s technology and operations. “This project is also in the interest of our employees, who want job security.”
