Overview
- The deal stretches the staff reduction to the end of 2032 and replaces an earlier plan to cut about 1,250 jobs by 2030.
- Operational activities in Homburg will be largely consolidated at the East plant, with the West site’s role reduced.
- The company says job reductions should be achieved through social measures such as partial retirement, early retirement, or severance.
- The exclusion of operational dismissals runs through 2032 and is tied to meeting agreed annual reduction targets.
- IG Metall cites binding employment guarantees until 2032 and plans for expansion investments at the East site, set against Bosch’s wider cost cuts of about 13,000 roles in its Mobility division.
