Grammer Automotive Slovenija to lay off over one-third of staff

Grammer Automotive Slovenija, a manufacturer of automotive seat inserts, headrests, and armrests, has announced plans to reduce its workforce by 41 employees. This reduction represents more than one-third of the company's staff.

The company, which is part of the German-based Grammer AG group, reported that the layoffs follow a decline in orders. According to the company's annual report, net sales reached 29.4 million euros last year, a 19.6 percent decrease compared to 2024. Management attributed a loss in planned revenue for the Porsche group to the relocation of the Porsche Macan project to a sister company in the Czech Republic.

Some employees have already received termination notices, while others will receive them in the future. Those unable to find alternative employment are expected to register with the employment service by January 2027. As of the end of 2025, the Slovenj Gradec-based company employed 124 people.
