A total of 1,532 employees are affected by the restructuring intended to be completed by the end of 2025.
“This decision is linked to the growing competition [from] budget truck tyres and the lack of competitiveness of our German operations for our European and export markets,” the tyre maker said.
It would record a provision of around EUR425m in its consolidated financial results for full year 2023.
The official announcement confirmed earlier media reports.
