Production at Škoda Auto will stop a week after the holiday due to a lack of chips

In a number of Škoda Auto operations, the summer shutdown due to lack of parts began during this week, ie before the planned plant-wide holiday. And due to the long-term shortage of chips, the outage will last even after the holidays.

The average salary includes, for example, an extraordinary annual bonus. This will give employees more money than they would earn during normal work. “Not only did the originally planned group leave in the 31st and 32nd calendar weeks be joined by a production shutdown before the holidays, ie on Thursday 29th and Friday 30th July, but the situation with a shortage of chips and other components has worsened to such an extent that the production of cars will not start even in the 33rd calendar week, ie in the week after the public holiday, “said the unions.

The production shutdown before the summer holidays occurred in most operations according to the plan on Wednesday, July 28, in the afternoon shift, so the production of cars stopped on Wednesday at 22:00. In some operations, the shutdown begins during the day. According to the weekly, employees will return to work on a night shift from Sunday to Monday, August 23, both in Mladá Boleslav and in Kvasiny. In Vrchlabí, people will return to work a little earlier, ie in the night shift on Thursday 19 August.

During the company-wide holiday, there will be employees from the maintenance areas, some guards at the gates, part of Aramark’s catering staff, many administrative staff or employees in Česana.

Last year, Škoda Auto delivered over one million cars worldwide. It operates three production plants in the Czech Republic, produces in China, Russia, Slovakia and India, mostly through group partnerships, as well as in Ukraine and Kazakhstan in cooperation with local partners. It is active in more than 100 markets.
