Overview
- About 90 roles at the Isny site will be eliminated by December through a voluntary program with severance rather than forced layoffs.
- Dethleffs has relied on short‑time work since late 2024 and again recently, reflecting underutilized production and weak orders.
- Management indicates no further reductions are expected in the near term, describing the measure as the end of the current cutbacks.
- The decision follows a broader sector slump, with German caravan and motorhome sales down 16.4% in 2024 and other manufacturers reporting 2025 revenue declines.
- Despite the cuts, the company plans investments in new machinery and in‑house operations in Isny and is targeting a fully electric motorhome by 2028.
