Voestalpine to cut 150 more jobs at Kindberg plant

Voestalpine Tubulars will cut around 150 jobs at its Kindberg plant, ORF reported on Monday. The company makes seamless steel pipes for the automotive, oil and gas industries.

The cuts will accompany a production-capacity adjustment by the end of March 2027 as the company aligns output with demand. The Kindberg plant already lost 170 jobs last year.

Voestalpine said the United States is the plant’s main sales market. US tariffs and challenging conditions in alternative markets in the Middle East were the main reasons for the latest cuts.

The company said it would work with the works council to draw up a social plan by the end of November 2026.
