Bietigheim-Bissingen (dpa / lsw) - The automotive supplier Bosch will finally cease production at the Bietigheim-Bissingen plant (Ludwigsburg district) by the end of 2021.

Among other things, a social plan had been agreed for the 290 employees affected, the works council and the company announced on Wednesday.

The job cuts are socially acceptable.

Both the assembly of sensor and servo units (control and motor) for electric steering systems as well as the production of products for post-series supply for electric steering systems and valves are to be relocated to other European locations, according to earlier statements.

Plant manager Achim Ottenstein said that the decision to shut down production was not an easy one for Bosch.

But it was necessary from an economic point of view.

The local works council chairman Vincenzo Basile criticized: “A plant that has existed for years will be destroyed.

That stunned me. "

The development area in the plant is to be retained.

According to earlier information, more than 250 people are employed here.
