After Major Fire: Company Emco Can Resume Normal Operations Earlier Than Planned

The short-time work approved by the Employment Service (AMS) for 313 employees after the major fire at the machine tool manufacturer Emco in Hallein (Tennengau) will end more than two weeks earlier than planned. Instead of October 13, normal operations are to be resumed on October 1. "We are pleased that we will already be able to produce at full capacity again," the management announced in a press release on Tuesday.

Short-time work ends early, normal operations from October

The reasons for this are primarily the significantly improved procurement situation for production, the creation of replacement areas for the storage and logistics areas destroyed by the fire, and the positive order situation, according to the company. The biggest challenge after the fire on July 1 was the re-procurement of the destroyed components for production. The inventory was largely destroyed by the fire, and the damage was recently estimated at around 19.5 million euros.
