The solar module manufacturer Meyer Burger is responding to material shortages and is introducing short-time working at its German solar cell plant in Thalheim from May 1, 2025. The company expects the measure, which will affect around 300 employees, to result in short-term savings.
In a statement on Wednesday, Meyer Burger referred to "temporary" material bottlenecks in production. The measure has been ordered in consultation with the works council.
The bottlenecks had also led to an adjustment of production processes at the US site in Goodyear, Meyer Burger explained further. The solar cells from Thalheim are processed into solar modules there. In addition, adjustments to the workforce in Goodyear are also being prepared to reduce costs.
