Oettinger to Halt Braunschweig Brewing by Year-End, Cutting Most Jobs

Hopes for a buyer collapsed after months of talks.

Overview

  • About 110 of roughly 120 employees will be made redundant, with ten positions retained in logistics and materials management.
  • Output will be consolidated at Oettinger’s plants in Oettingen and Mönchengladbach.
  • The timetable has been brought forward from an earlier plan that targeted spring 2026.
  • The works council and the NGG union opposed the move, arguing investment could keep the site competitive, but no takeover materialized.
  • Management cites falling sales and outdated equipment, pointing to a sharp 2025 market slump.
