Hewlett-Packard Co., the world’s largest personal-computer maker, plans to shutter a German site, slashing 1,100 jobs as part of a cost-cut plan aimed at offsetting sluggish demand for hardware and services.
The local unit’s supervisory board today decided to close the site in Ruesselsheim near Frankfurt, which provides enterprise services such as information-technology consulting and data-center management, the IG Metall union said in an e-mailed statement. Patrik Edlund, a spokesman for HP in Germany, didn’t immediately have a comment when reached by Bloomberg News.
