“On 7 December, 2011, Recticel announced its Automotive Interiors division had not
been nominated for the production of interior components for the new Mercedes C-class. The production of interior components for the current Mercedes C-class will therefore end in 2015, hence the need for restructuring.”

Discussions with the Works Council will start in the coming weeks in order to identify support measures, including “mobility” to other Recticel Automotive plants, added the supplier.
