The Switzerland-listed reciprocating compressor systems company is looking to fortify its organization in India and save 20 million francs annually through the measures. It will involve the consolidation of certain roles and the optimization of business processes. The final impact of the restructuring measures is subject to consultations with employee representatives in Switzerland. The group allocated 3 million francs for one-time restructuring expenses, which are expected to be booked in the first half of fiscal 2026.
