  • Bystronic introduces a divisional organizational structure
  • The restructuring bundles competencies and reduces fixed costs
  • Bystronic ensures profitability over the entire economic cycle

Zurich, September 11,  2024Bystronic is optimizing its organizational structure to position itself closer to its customers while also reducing its fixed cost basis. As such, Bystronic is eliminating its regional structure and introducing a divisional structure. This will lead to a reduction in the size of Bystronic’s Executive Board to four members, effective October 1, 2024. In addition to the already established service division, Bystronic will bundle its competencies in the machinery business, automation and software to serve customers even better from a single source and to strengthen its positioning as a full solutions provider.

Additionally, Bystronic is launching further comprehensive restructuring measures. To optimize synergies, group functions will be merged and the global footprint consolidated, among other measures. Bystronic remains committed to its Niederönz (Switzerland) location, which produces very efficiently thanks to its optimized production depth. 

Domenico Iacovelli, CEO of Bystronic, commented: “Although cost reduction measures have already been launched, a comprehensive restructuring is unavoidable due to market dynamics. Our new organizational structure positions us closer to our customers and allows us to respond with more agility to market needs.”

In total, the structural changes will lead to annualized savings in the mid double-digit million range. As such, Bystronic will ensure its profitability over the entire economic cycle. The Group expects one-time costs in the low double-digit million range.
