Volkswagen, agreement reached with suppliers. Early resumption of production

Volkswagen has reached an agreement with the two suppliers CarTim and Es Automobilguss, who had suspended deliveries forcing the automotive group to stop the production of Golf and Passat.
The group had been charged by the supplier to have canceled the contracts without cause or notice and refusing to compensate them. Volkswagen however, had asked to reduce costs in order to remain competitive, after the allocations decided to cope with fixing scandal emissions.
"The manufacturing sites involved – VW announced in a press – are gradually preparing itself to resume production."

The positive outcome is the result of the resumption of talks took place Monday between Volkswagen and its suppliers Cartrim and ES Guss, who produce seat covers and cast iron components respectively for the gearboxes. Without an agreement, VW had warned, would be completely blocked the production lines of 6 factories with 28,000 workers involved.

Sources close to the environment have revealed that the agreement is "long view" and the newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung stressed that negotiations began on Monday afternoon and went forward "until just before eight o'clock this morning."

For the moment, no detail has been officially revealed: the German company limited itself to making known to have settled the differences (as confirmed by the counterparties), but did not specify them. Wolfsburg and suppliers, as reported today, have decided by common agreement not to disclose the terms of the cartel.
