Nissan to Merge Two Sunderland Lines and Cut 900 European Jobs
The company said the changes under its Re:Nissan recovery plan are meant to simplify operations and secure full plant utilisation.
- Carmaker Nissan announced plans to cut 900 jobs across Europe, amounting to about 10% of its regional workforce, while merging two production lines into one at its Sunderland plant.
- The changes fall under the 'RE:Nissan' recovery plan, designed to create a "leaner, more resilient business that adapts quickly to market changes" following significant losses and intense global competition.
- Proposals include the partial closure of its Barcelona warehouse and a transition to an importer model for its Nordic markets, aiming to simplify organizational structures and reduce complexity.
- Although the Sunderland plant remains 'central' to operations, manufacturing jobs on Wearside are not expected to be at risk, with staff reductions likely focused on office positions.
- Nissan is exploring opportunities to secure full plant utilization at Sunderland through potential collaboration with external companies amid ongoing challenges within the global automotive manufacturing sector.
