Japanese crane manufacturer has announced it is closing the Wallerscheid production facility in Zweibrücken, Germany, and realigning production accordingly.
Tadano says the envisaged changes in production are designed to enable the company to even better respond to the needs of the customers and to ensure that its products and services remain market-leading in the longer term. They will also serve to improve the speed of delivery in the production of cranes as well as repair and service work.
The management of Tadano Ltd.’s subsidiary Tadano Demag (“TDG”) will begin consultations with the works council. As a result of this planned realignment, items produced at the Wallerscheid facility will be moved to the TDG Dinglerstrasse factory, the Tadano Faun (“TFG”) Lauf factory, and a Tadano factory in Japan.
Tadano says it recognises the great potential of its German production sites and that both TDG and TFG will continue to play a key part in its global production network.
