Dethleffs to Cut About 90 Jobs at Isny Plant Through Voluntary Program

Management cites a prolonged demand slump that left the Isny plant underutilized.

Overview

  • Executives said repeated short‑time work failed to fill capacity, leading to a headcount reduction focused on voluntary departures.
  • The company aims to find roughly 90 volunteers by December across production and administration to avoid compulsory layoffs.
  • Departing employees are offered tenure-based severance, an age program for staff 60+, and placement support via a transfer company.
  • Dethleffs plans to invest a high single‑digit million euro sum in new machinery and insourcing at Isny, and it is targeting a fully electric RV by 2028.
  • A spokesperson said additional cuts are not expected soon, with the adjustment reflecting the post‑pandemic slump that saw German RV sales fall sharply in 2024, according to CIVD.
