As a result, 140 employees will probably have to look for a new job. VDL says it will help the affected employees find a new job. In some cases this may be possible within the VDL Groep itself, so that they do not end up on the street. It is not inconceivable that this will happen to some employees.
VDL has pulled the plug on supplying cast iron products because significant investments were required. Thanks to strict environmental requirements, things had to be more sustainable.
