瑞士的Pfiffner公司削减了80个工作岗位, Swiss firm Pfiffner cuts 80 jobs after U.S. tariff raises machinery prices 50%.

瑞士精确工程公司K.R. Swiss precision engineering firm K.R. Pfiffner将其105名雇员中的80名裁员, 原因是8月份美国对瑞士机器征收39%的关税, Pfiffner is laying off 80 of its 105 employees due to a 39% U.S. tariff on Swiss machinery imposed in August, which made its products up to 50% more expensive for American buyers. 随着欧洲汽车部门需求下降,这一举动导致整个欧洲更广泛的工业就业机会损失,包括德国的114 000多个裁员,以及到2026年底瑞士机械工程工业可能损失多达30 000个工作岗位。 The move follows declining demand in the European auto sector, contributing to broader industrial job losses across Europe, including over 114,000 cuts in Germany and potential losses of up to 30,000 jobs in Switzerland’s mechanical engineering industry by late 2026. 该公司的母公司FFG正在将一些生产转移到美国,而工人在经济下滑和消费支出减少时面临不确定性。 The company’s parent, FFG, is shifting some production to the U.S., while workers face uncertainty amid economic downturns and reduced consumer spending.
