Layoff Summary

LEUNA-Polyamid will shut down its Leuna chemical plant after failing to find an investor, costing about 400 employees their jobs.

The plant will finish existing orders through September before operations begin winding down in October as formal insolvency proceedings open. Management cited high energy and raw-material costs alongside growing competitive pressure from China.
