Overview
- The company and IG Metall agreed on an interest reconciliation, a social plan and a social-tariff contract with severance payments and a transfer company, a package the union says is in the double-digit millions.
- Manufacturing at the Lüneburg site will be phased out by the end of March 2027, resulting in the loss of 160 production jobs.
- Design and administrative functions totaling about 125 positions will remain at the location.
- The settlement follows more than 80 days of strike action by production employees, with staff set to return to work on Monday.
- Jungheinrich frames the decision as part of its Strategy 2030+ transformation and a program to cut roughly 1,000 jobs globally, about half in Germany including roles in Norderstedt and Hamburg.
