Have
Resumed
L
ast week, KTM an-
nounced the restart of
its
production operations in
Mattighofen, returning to a
full-time, five-day work week.
Production will kick off
with the off-road lineup, as
announced last week, and
will continue to roll out over
the coming weeks. Along
-

KTM
will resume production
of its LC4 platform models,

day

week and full time. Produc-

regular
Christmas break; a

planned. Supply chains have
also been fully reactivated
to "guarantee reliable supply
and delivery worldwide,"
says KTM.
Alongside the resumption
of operations, KTM says it is
also intensifying its recruit

ment efforts. Employees are
being
sought in a wide range
of areas, such as IT, finance
and marketing, particularly
in Mattighofen and Munderf
