Overview

• Technisat will shutter its Schöneck facility in Vogtland by year-end, putting 70 jobs at risk.
• The company blamed high energy expenses, rising personnel costs and complex regulatory requirements in Germany for the move.
• Production is set to transfer to an expanded site in Oborniki near Poznań, where Technisat expects greater cost efficiency.
• Local authorities were not consulted beforehand, prompting Vogtland’s mayor to return from vacation for a crisis meeting.
• After Schöneck’s closure, Technisat will retain only its Staßfurt plant in Germany alongside its facility in Hungary.
