FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Germany's MAN
"We have to adjust our production according to demand," German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung cited Anders Nielsen as saying in an excerpt of an interview to be published on Tuesday.
He said Munich-based MAN has applied for subsidies under the German government's short-time work program, called "Kurzarbeit", for the first half of 2013.
"But it is not ruled out that we extend the 'Kurzarbeit'," he said, adding that depended on how the market developed during the year. He said job cuts were not planned.
The move will affect 3,500 workers at a plant in Munich and 1,800 in the northern German city of Salzgitter, the paper said.
Top rival Daimler Trucks
Sueddeutsche Zeitung quoted MAN's Nielsen as saying he expects business to be stable at a "lower level" over the next two to three years but added he would work on improving profitability at MAN to catch up with Daimler.
"I envision a long-term return of just over 10 percent," he said.
