AGC Glass Europe plans to reduce its workforce by up to 190 positions across its European operations as part of a restructuring effort.

The move aims to achieve overall savings of €30 million and structurally reduce overhead fixed costs.

According to the company, the plan is intended to sustainably enhance the competitiveness of its architectural glass business.

The reorganisation is prompted by “operational profitability challenges” faced since 2023, driven by a sharp downturn in the building construction market and resulting overcapacity.

The reduction of positions is scheduled to take place throughout 2026-2027.
