FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Siemens Energy’s troubled wind unit Siemens Gamesa plans to cut 4,100 jobs, or about 15% of its workforce, the unit’s CEO Jochen Eickholt said in an internal letter to employees seen by Reuters.
“Our current situation requires adjustments that go beyond organizational changes. We must adapt to lower business volumes, reduced activity in non-core markets and a streamlined portfolio,” Eickholt said in the letter.
A Siemens Energy spokesman said the company would announce the number of jobs affected once consultations with all stakeholders have been completed.
