Weitzer Parkett, the traditional Austrian parquet flooring manufacturer based in Weiz, Styria, is implementing significant job cuts affecting its workforce of around 350 employees. The company has not yet disclosed the exact number of redundancies. The move reflects the ongoing difficult market conditions facing the timber industry, particularly in flooring production where demand has weakened. For UK joinery firms sourcing engineered parquet or layered flooring products, this signals continued pressure on European suppliers – potentially affecting availability and pricing in coming months.
