The Opel partner Segula will stop operating the test facilities in Rüsselsheim and Rodgau-Dudenhofen, which currently employ around 330 people, on October 31st. Segula Germany boss Holger Jené announced on Monday evening that no investor had been found for the insolvent sub-company Segula Technologies GmbH, in which the Tes business is bundled. The insolvent testing division will therefore be wound up. 287 employees will have to be laid off at the end of the month; a small team will remain until the end of the year to support the winding up. A transfer company should be set up for some of those affected, namely 82 employees in Dudenhofen. The engineering services business is not affected by the insolvency; 170 employees worked for this Segula division in Rüsselsheim.More on the topicA month ago, Jené was still confident that at least parts of the test business would be taken over by an investor and that around 100 jobs could be saved. “I very much regret the developments, especially in view of our great workforce, whom I would like to thank for their commitment and tireless efforts,” said Jené on Monday. He would also like to thank his customers, the works council, the IG Metall union, the Federal Employment Agency – which had paid insolvency benefits to the employees for several months – and the state government for their support.
