苏黎世（路透社）- 西门子首席执行官罗兰·布什 （Roland Busch） 周四表示，其陷入困境的工厂自动化业务可能会在全球范围内裁员多达 5,000 人。
“有时我们不得不进行一些重新设计，因为发展并不像我们预期的那么积极，”Busch 在西门子报告其旗舰数字工业业务的利润暴跌 46% 后表示。
ZURICH (Reuters) - Siemens could cut up to 5,000 jobs worldwide in its struggling factory automation business, Chief Executive Roland Busch said on Thursday.
"Sometimes we have to do some re-engineering because the developments weren't as positive as we expected them to be," said Busch after Siemens reported a 46% plunge in profit at its flagship digital industries business.
“这意味着我们将有一个中低规模的四位数数量裁员，这将影响一些地区，”Busch 说。
西门子表示，尚未确定就业数据的确切数字，该公司在全球数字行业拥有 70,000 名员工。
Busch 补充说，由于人口减少和中小型公司的机械化水平低，他看到了自动化市场的长期潜力。
"This means we are going to have a low- to medium-sized four-digit amount which will affect some areas," Busch said.
No exact figure for the job figures has yet been decided, said Siemens, which employs 70,000 in digital industries globally.
Busch added that he saw long-term potential for the automation market, due to shrinking populations and the low level of mechanization at small and medium-sized companies.
该公告发布之际，西门子发布了 2024 财年第四季度业绩，该业绩凸显了持续的地缘政治和宏观经济不确定性。尽管存在这些不利因素，该公司的业务仍实现了 31 亿欧元的利润，利润率为 15.5%。
展望未来，西门子预计来年宏观经济将温和增长。该公司面临多重挑战，包括贸易冲突、产能过剩和制造业消费者需求下降。
西门子股份公司总裁兼首席执行官 Roland Busch 说，“从 2025 财年开始，我们将把西门子的价值创造提升到一个新的水平。我们将继续投资于研发和并购，以确保基于我们的技术优势和跨行业扩展能力的更快增长。我们计划收购 Altair 巩固了我们在工业软件和 AI 领域的领导地位。我们将现实世界和数字世界相结合的能力是无与伦比的。”
“Starting in fiscal 2025, we will take Siemens to the next level of value creation. We will continue to invest in R&D and M&A to secure faster growth based on our technological strengths and ability to scale across industries. Our planned acquisition of Altair reinforces our leadership in industrial software and AI. Our ability to combine the real and digital worlds is unmatched.”said Roland Busch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Siemens AG.
