Kiefel, a market leading company for thermoforming and joining technology and member of the Brückner Group, is announcing a structural reorientation and therefore an accompanying consolidation of its sites.
In the future, Kiefel will focus increasingly in the packaging area on new standardized automation solutions and leave the volatile special automation business. Furthermore, the specific skills of the respective sites of the global production network of Kiefel and its parent company, the Brückner Group, should be used more effectively in the future.
As a result, the production unit for tool manufacturing for fibre and tilting machines as well as automation of thermoforming machines at the Micheldorf (Austria) site will be integrated into other sites. Kiefel will therefore close the site with its approximately 130 employees. The accompanying reduction in staff will take place progressively and be completed at the latest by the end of 2025.
