The parquet floor manufacturer Weitzer Parkett from Weiz (Styria) is cutting jobs in previously unknown numbers. The traditional company employs around 350 employees and produces multi-layer parquet as well as solid wood floors. The wave of layoffs comes during a phase of weak construction economy that also affects other wood processors in Austria and Germany – orders in timber construction have declined across Europe in 2024. Weitzer Parkett has not yet commented on the exact number of affected positions or restructuring plans.
