Lear pulls production out of Germany – relocation costs 180 jobs
Lear is moving production from its Gründau, Germany site to Slovakia, Serbia, and Tunisia by mid-2027, cutting 180 jobs. The company cites high investment costs, while IG Metall disputes this. Lear's Q2 2026 revenue rose 3% to $6.21B, net income up to $192.8M. The move follows similar industrial job losses in the region.
