Colibrium Additive plans Lichtenfels workforce reduction
January 7, 2025
According to the German newspaper Obermain-Tagblatt, Colibrium Additive – a GE Aerospace company based in Lichtenfels, Germany, is planning to lay off between 40% and 48% of its workforce. The source indicated that a meeting was held in December for all employees based in Lichtenfels, during which Colibrium Additive leadership explained that significant job cuts would be necessary.
Obermain-Tagblatt shared that this could result in at least 160 workers and up to 192 losing their jobs in the first quarter of 2025.
Colibrium Additive has neither confirmed nor denied the existence of a workforce reduction plan, but it has stated plans to streamline operations across its global business.
“On November 6, Colibrium Additive submitted proposals for changes to GE Aerospace’s European Works Council,” a company spokesperson told Obermain-Tagblatt. “Taking into account the current conditions in the additive industry, we are proposing measures to make our business more efficient so that we can best meet the needs of our employees and customers.”
