19 Mar 2020|949 views
Volkswagen is gradually suspending production at its European plants, which will also affect Volkswagen Group Components plants.
This is the brand's response to the impending rapid decline in demand in the automotive markets. Risks in connection with suppliers' supply chains are also increasing. This is due to the significantly accelerated rate of infection by COVID-19 and the resulting measures taken by the authorities. Initially, the factories are therefore expected to remain closed for two weeks. For the affected German sites, the measures are to apply from the end of the late shift on 19 March 2020.
To protect its employees, Volkswagen is implementing further measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus. From 18 March 2020 onwards, the company canteens, self-service shops, cafeterias, bistros, restaurants and catering services will be closed. As a general principle, all meetings will be held by Skype or video. All major events have been cancelled. Furthermore, employees returning to Germany from other countries after 14 March are forbidden with immediate effect from entering the plant sites and other facilities of Volkswagen AG during the incubation period of 14 weekdays.
