Two motorhome accidents in Germany: injuries and major damage

German motorhome manufacturer LMC Caravan in Sassenberg has announced the dismissal of 106 employees. 88 workers will leave the company by July 31, 2026, and another 18 by January 31, 2027. Affected employees have the option to join a transfer company for retraining and job search support. The layoffs are attributed to a sustained decline in demand for caravans and motorhomes, particularly traditional travel trailers, which a temporary pandemic-era camping boom failed to reverse.

Layoffs will occur in two waves: 88 employees will leave at the end of July, and another 18 at the end of January. The reason is a decline in orders and a crisis in the caravan industry. The company plans to cut costs, digitize processes, and spin off its spare parts warehouse and warranty department.
