Heidelberg, Workers Reach Agreement on Cost-Cutting Measures

This concept is intended to reduce the number of compulsory redundancies still required. Taken as a whole, the package of measures is expected to cut around 500 jobs worldwide at Heidelberg until October 2010, around one third of these in the sales organizations. As part of this package, voluntary and socially acceptable measures have already resulted in some staff leaving the company or concluding agreements to terminate their contract of employment.
