Germany's Schaeffler Romania bearing producer, with turnoverworth more than 235m euros in 2009, has this year switched to afour-shift schedule in the wake of rising orders from its mainclients.
On the rising orders, the company announced it would boost itsnumber of employees, to around 3,200 by yearend, from 2,874 in2009.
Owing to the soaring orders in the automotive field, companies witha limited production capacity have found themselves unable to takeover all the orders despite extending the work schedule. "(...)Despite expanding the work schedule to seven days a week, we're nowfacing an ongoing increase in the number of orders from ourclients, but, because of our limited production capacity we cannottake all the orders," Andreea Tioc, the representative of MarquardtSchaltsysteme of Sibiu, told ZF.
