The food company Unilever plans to invest ten million euros at its Auerbach site in Vogtland by the end of 2026 and cut fewer jobs than previously planned. Packet soups are produced there. The plant will be expanded into a competence center for snack products/quick meals, the company announced. This includes the construction of an additional production line. The company announced at the beginning of the year that it would be cutting 80 jobs in Auerbach. Most recently, 175 people were employed there. With the new concept, it is now possible to reduce the job cuts by almost half, according to the statement. This is to be achieved without compulsory redundancies. The "Freie Presse" reported on the plans on Thursday.
