An internal communication to staff said the global OBC transfer project team will accelerate work on organising the transfer. The move may result in as many as 150 workers losing their jobs during the transition. Management expects to provide fuller details in early February, including headcount implications and timelines associated with the transfer. KOSTAL previously announced plans in October 2024 to reduce its workforce by 60 due to lower sales of carlines using its OBCs. Workers were briefed on December 4 and asked to submit questions by February 2. Significant uncertainty and anxiety persist among workers in Listowel and north Kerry.
