<strong>Challenges</strong> <strong>loom</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>supplier</strong> <strong>bosses</strong><br />
Partsmakers are cutting<br />
staff and production<br />
to cope with downturn<br />
Douglas A. Bolduc<br />
<strong>Automotive</strong> <strong>News</strong> Europe<br />
Supplier executives face difficult<br />
times as auto production slows in<br />
Europe and North America, raw material<br />
prices continue to rise and automakers<br />
ask <strong>for</strong> lower prices.<br />
Lars Holmqvist, CEO of the European<br />
<strong>supplier</strong> association, CLEPA,<br />
says that the combination of these<br />
factors has led to a negative outlook<br />
among partsmaker <strong>bosses</strong> about the<br />
current economic situation.<br />
“The common opinion is this is the<br />
worst we have seen <strong>for</strong> the last 20<br />
years,” Holmqvist said.<br />
He said that<br />
just about every<br />
<strong>supplier</strong> he has<br />
spoken with is<br />
considering cutting<br />
production<br />
shifts, shutting<br />
plants and laying<br />
off staff.<br />
“It varies<br />
from 1 percent<br />
to 5 percent of<br />
the work <strong>for</strong>ce,”<br />
he said.<br />

Editor’s note: The list includes 31 <strong>supplier</strong>s; 29 from the <strong>Automotive</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />
Europe list of the Top 30 <strong>supplier</strong>s of original equipment to automakers<br />
Europe (ANE, July 7) plus Schaeffler Group and IAC Europe.<br />
IAC Europe’s<br />
Höhnel has cut<br />
jobs in Sweden.<br />
its in the face of production cuts.<br />
“Neumann has to deal with the<br />
changing conditions,” Schneider<br />
said. “More smaller cars are in demand<br />
now, that means a slump <strong>for</strong><br />
Continental’s margin.”<br />
Valeo’s also is making adjustments.<br />
The French <strong>supplier</strong> will stop making<br />
rear lights at its factory in Neuses, central<br />
Germany. The decision will affect<br />
200 workers at the plant, which will<br />
continue to make windshield wipers.<br />
The French parts <strong>supplier</strong> will shift the<br />
production of rear lights to factories in<br />
France and Poland.<br />
CLEPA’s Holmqvist said that the<br />
downturn has <strong>for</strong>ced <strong>supplier</strong>s and<br />
automakers to work even closer together.<br />
He said cooperation will be<br />
crucial to survival, not just now but<br />
in the future. That is why he believes<br />
now is the time to really focus on developing<br />
cars that are safer and more<br />
environmentally friendly.<br />
