Kamp to Shut Down Laußig Location by Year's End

Kampf GmbH Announces Closure of Laußig Site by End of 2025

In a recent announcement, Kampf GmbH has revealed plans to close its Laußig site by the end of 2025. The decision comes after a prolonged period of economic and market challenges that have made continued operation unsustainable.

The Laußig site, which currently employs 62 people, specialises in the production of machines for various industries, including packaging, energy, and automotive. The closure may potentially impact the supply of these special machines, particularly in the energy and automotive sectors.

The product range produced at the Laußig site has been under considerable pressure, with the battery sector, particularly electric mobility, experiencing a significant decrease in demand. This has contributed to the financial challenges faced by the site.

Management at Kampf GmbH has explored various options, such as restructuring or repurposing, but found no viable solution. As a result, the closure decision was made with a view to finding the best possible outcome for all parties involved.

Kampf is collaborating with the works council, human resources department, and relevant authorities to develop a compromise agreement and social plan. The aim is to implement the closure with maximum social responsibility, ensuring the best possible support for the 62 employees affected by the closure.

Despite the closure of the Laußig site, other sites within the Kampf Group will not be affected by this measure. The company remains committed to its mission and will continue to serve its customers with the highest level of quality and service.

The Kampf Group recognises the impact that this closure will have and is committed to working closely with the works council, personnel department, and authorities to develop a social plan and reconciliation of interests. The company's ultimate goal is to navigate this challenging period with sensitivity and fairness.

This news marks a significant change for Kampf GmbH and the Laußig site, but the company remains optimistic about its future and its ability to adapt to the ever-changing market conditions.
