Mercedes-Benz, subsidiary of the German manufacturer Daimler is to cut 200 jobs at its site in Ludwigsfelde (Brandenburg). Job cuts will be implemented by October 2013. The restructuring is due to the expiring production of the Mercedes Vario van model in summer 2013. Out of the 200 job losses, 50 refer to outsourced employees. For previously announced restructurings see Mercedes-Benz-DE2011 and Mercedes-Benz-DE2009.
