Second potential buyer for the component plant in Kaiserslautern
The German magazine Automobilwoche and works councils representatives reported that there is a second potential buyer in the race about the sale of the Opel component plant in Kaiserslautern (Germany).
The works council criticized the offer of the Kirchhoff-group, who was for a long time the only potential buyer negotiating with GM. Kirchhoff wants to outsource about 900 of the 2400 employees. That's one reason why the offer of Kirchhoff is inacceptable for the works council. The chairman of the works council in Kaiserslautern, Alfred Klingel, said that the works council will not agree to the Kirchhoff demands.
Now another potential buyer, the metal specialist Weigl-group is in the race again.
