Assicurazioni Generali

Assicurazioni Generali plans to close its Aachen, Nuremberg and Stuttgart sites by the end of 2030 and cut 800 positions in Germany. Five regional centres are to be created in Munich, Cologne, Karlsruhe, Hamburg and Saarbrücken, while the Frankfurt, Leipzig and Berlin sites will be retained. Management intends to negotiate with the group works council and to carry out the reductions mainly through voluntary departures, retirement and natural attrition, while selectively hiring new specialists. Generali’s German workforce numbers around 9,100 people; the share price traded about 1.3 percent lower at 41.77 euros at one point. » Więcej na finanzen.net
