Overview
- Mahle plans to begin the program next year, targeting €150 million in annual savings with one third from non‑personnel costs and two thirds from personnel.
- Roughly 1,000 positions will be eliminated worldwide in administration and research and development, while production roles are excluded.
- About half of the savings will be realized in Germany, with a mid‑three‑digit headcount reduction centered on the Stuttgart headquarters.
- Management will open consultations with employee representatives and seeks to implement reductions via severance and early‑retirement offers.
- The announcement follows about 600 job cuts in Germany reported in July; Mahle employs roughly 67,000–68,000 people worldwide, including about 10,000 in Germany.
