Description
Sulzer Eldim, manufacturer of aircraft components, is cutting 70 jobs in an effort to move parts of the production of its plant in Lomm, the Netherlands to Debrecen, Hungary.
Dutch unions expressed great concern about the offshoring. It is reported that not only will 70 jobs be lost through the offshoring, but also will the offshoring of sheet metal seals see the most profitable activity of the plant go abroad. Its other activities yield less profit.
Sulzer Eldim produces aircraft components. It maintains three plants: in Lomm (the Netherlands), Stockport (United Kingdom) and Debrecen (Hungary).The company is part of the Sulzer Metco division of the Sulzer group.
A timeline for the offshoring is not yet known.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
