No Further Staff Reductions Expected at KTM

"We have the assurance from the new management that nothing else is in the pipeline and there will be no further layoffs on a larger scale," said KTM works council Friedrich Lackerbauer to the "Upper Austrian News" (Wednesday edition).

KTM Shifts Part of Production to Asia

The KTM factory in Mattighofen (Braunau district) is set to resume operations on March 17. However, production will no longer be in two shifts, but in a single shift, and part of the production will be outsourced to Asia, as was announced after an extraordinary general meeting on Monday. This has been negotiated since Christmas and is "well feasible" with the existing staff, Lackerbauer commented. The mood among the staff is "generally positive", and it is hoped that calm will quickly return.
