Umstrukturierung bei WeylChem in Frankfurt
Am 20.09. wurde in einer Betriebsversammlung ein Restrukturierungskonzept für die WeylChem Standorte in Frankfurt Höchst und Frankfurt Griesheim vorgestellt. Dazu wurde von den Betriebsparteien ein Sozialplan verhandelt und unterzeichnet. Dieser beinhaltet den Abbau von insgesamt 48 Arbeitsplätzen von ursprünglich 262 auf zukünftig 214. Die Implementierung dieses Sozialplans wird sich bis in Q. 3 / 2012 ziehen. Durch die Umsetzung wird die WeylChem ein Unternehmen mit flacherer Hierarchie und Fokus auf die Kernprozesse.
Die Umstrukturierung am Standort Frankfurt wurde erforderlich, da ein Umsatzrückgang von > 25 % überwiegend aus Geschäften mit Exklusivprodukten in den Agrochemikaliensektor in 2010 und 2011 zu einem stark negativen Ergebnis geführt hatte. Um ein attraktiver Anbieter für diesen Sektor zu bleiben, müssen die personal und infrastrukturbedingten Fixkosten signifikant gesenkt werden.
Mit der Betriebsversammlung wurde der Startschuß zu einer Umstrukturierung gegeben, um für die WeylChem in Frankfurt in 2012 ein ausgeglichenes Ergebnis zu erreichen und für die Folgejahre in die Gewinnzone zu steuern. Damit wird laut T. Hainich, Präsident der WeylChem Gruppe, vor allem das Potential des Standortes in Griesheim voll ausgeschöpft um nachhaltig ein wichtiger Baustein im WeylChem Verbund zu bleiben.
