Siemens AG is in the early stages of formulating a plan to shed thousands of employees because of Europe's deteriorating economy, Boersen Zeitung reports.
The cuts could be announced in October or November, according to the Frankfurt-based financial daily, which did not cite its sources.
Siemens disclosed in late July that new orders fell 23% year on year to €17.8 billion in the April-June period. The company warned it would have difficulty meeting its full-year goals. Siemens said it planned to reduce costs, boost productivity and increase efficiency but has not provided details.
The company has 410,000 employees, including 129,000 workers in Germany.

Shifting Landscape of Technology Is a Never-Ending Education
Brent Donaldson, Senior Editor, Modern Machine Shop and Additive Manufacturing Magazine discusses how the shifting landscape of technology that all of Gardner’s writers and editors cover is a never-ending education. If we are truly doing our jobs, we will never feel like we’ve mastered them. As I continue writing and reporting for AM and MMS, it’s easy to imagine how these technologies’ interdependency will continue to grow. It also seems clear that this kind of reporting — the kind that requires editors to experience and share new manufacturing technologies and strategies — is the kind of reporting that only Gardner can produce with any depth. I’m grateful to be part of it.
