Case narrative: 

Siteco is a German company belonging to the Osram Group producing indoor and outdoor lighting. In 2018, it decided to implement a reorganization of the production network to simplify and optimize organizational processes. Within this project, it was decided to concentrate by mid-2018 the luminaire production in the German site of Traunreut; therefore, this product line was back-shored from the Slovak plant in Nové Zámky. The foreign plant will continue to manufacture light for the automotive industry.
