The porcelain manufacturer Rosenthal apparently wants to part ways with several employees.
The Selb and Speicherdorf locations are affected.
Rosenthal – The traditional company Rosenthal is cutting jobs.
The porcelain manufacturer wants to cut around 100 of 700 jobs at its locations in Selb in the Wunsiedel district and Speichersdorf in the Bayreuth district.
The company cites its tense economic situation as the main reason.
Traditional Bavarian company Rosenthal has to cut 100 jobs
At the request of
Bayerischer Rundfunk
(BR),
a spokeswoman confirmed the job cuts.
The results of the austerity measures and restructuring measures that have been underway for some time and the forecast for the current year were not enough to offset the economic downturn, said the spokeswoman.
The market situation is difficult: costs are rising, and at the same time consumers are buying less porcelain.

Which specific jobs will be cut will be negotiated with the works council in the coming weeks.
The first results are expected by June 30th.
From today's perspective, however, the company will continue to produce in Germany.
According to the statement, Rosenthal managing director Lotte Franch regrets the planned job cuts.
She was “personally very sad that we have to part ways with some of our employees,” Franch told
BR.
Job cuts at traditional German companies continue
Rosenthal is not alone in its job cuts. Companies like Bosch also want to cut jobs.
In Lower Saxony, more than 1,500 Bosch employees protested against nationwide job cuts.
The works council of the Bosch factory criticized the lack of communication.
“We are worried about the future here if job cuts become the means of all things,” said Stefan Störmer, chairman of the works council at the Hildesheim plant, to
NDR Lower Saxony
.
According to its own statements, the union is calling for alternative concepts to be taken into account for workforce reductions and for all employees to have a fair participation in Bosch's growth opportunities.
The union said that the protest was about “securing jobs” and “the well-being of the entire workforce.”
In recent months, Bosch's plans to cut jobs worldwide have been announced several times.
Bosch cited the main reason for this as maintaining competitiveness.
There are currently more than 7,000 positions available across all business areas - up to 3,200 of them in automotive supply.
