Most of the jobs will be lost in Eschen itself, where the company employs 2,000 people, the spokesperson pointed out: the axe will mainly hit the administrative sectors. Thyssenkrupp Presta currently still employs 120 people in Switzerland. Negotiations with the workers' representatives are ongoing.

“The situation is serious: our current structures do not allow us to compete sustainably internationally,” said a Thyssenkrupp group executive, quoted in a statement. The reduction of jobs is intended to ensure the company's competitiveness, the manager added.
