Michelin axing German jobs and facilities

Two factories will close while contact centre shifts to Poland

Graeme Roberts November 30 2023

Michelin said this week it would gradually wind down production at its Karlsruhe and Trier sites in Germany as well as the new tyre and semi finished products manufacturing in Homburg.

It would also transfer its customer contact centre from Karlsruhe to Poland, the tyre maker said in a statement.

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.

Smart parking market expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.2% by 2030

Urbanization and population growth are the major drivers of the smart parking market as they have a significant impact on parking demand, traffic congestion, and the need for efficient urban infrastructure. Smart parking systems assist in optimizing the use of current parking facilities by providing real-time information on available spaces and decreasing the time and effort spent looking for parking. Automated parking systems and automobile stacking technologies optimize land usage by requiring less space for the same number of parked vehicles.
