Description
Yanmar Construction Equipment Europe, a subsidiary of the Japanese manufacturer Yanmar, is hiring 70 new workers following a delocalisation of its operations from Crailsheim, Germany, to Saint-Dizier, France. The German site will close at the end of 2025, resulting in the loss of 290 jobs. The company has decided to move the production of construction equipment to France and invest in expanding the site. The site will therefore be responsible for production in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Yanmar Construction Equipment Europe has a workforce of 370 employees.
