Fujitsu’s last European PC plant to close down

Fujitsu’s last remaining PC and laptop plant in Europe, located in southern Germany, will close down in 2020.

The closing of the factory in Augsburg will also lead to the loss of 1,500 jobs at the facility, a Fujitsu PR announced.

Another 300 jobs in German subcontractors are jeopardized too.

As B92 reports, the Japanese company will thereby fully close down its production and assembly capacities in Germany and move product development, assembly and logistics to Japan.

The Japanese company points out that the factory is the last of its kind in Europe.

Classic PCs are a dying breed – the sale of such devices has dropped considerably, as consumers have turned to tablets and other mobile devices.
