Motorhome and camper manufacturer LMC (Lord Münsterland Caravan) is negotiating the reduction of 160 jobs at its Sassenberg plant in North Rhine-Westphalia. The move reflects a post-pandemic demand slump: German registrations fell over 15% year-on-year in 2025–2026. The company, part of Erwin Hymer Group (Thor Industries), is adjusting capacity to market conditions. No final agreement has been reached yet.
