German manufacturer of consumer electronics Loewe will cut 190 jobs. This is mainly due to decreased demand in the European market for consumer electronics.
In total, Loewe employs 1,000 people. Additional measures of restructuring include the lowering of wages, which shall be negotiated with the trade unions.
