BERLIN: Siemens-Gamesa said Monday it would cut up to 6,000 jobs in 24 countries as it works to merge the wind turbine operations of its German and Spanish parent companies.

The company, which was created last year when Gamesa and Siemens combined wind power businesses to create one of the world’s largest makers of wind turbines, had only previously announced plans to let go some 700 of its 27,000 employees.—AFP
