The Austrian Canadian company Magna, which seemingly is facing a major crisis shows that exceptions confirm the rule. Germany’s big car Portal auto.de reported the losers of globalization. The automotive supplier Magna employs currently about 74,000 people in 25 countries. For the first time the disadvantages of this economic networking noticeable now.

Shortly before the planned takeover of Opel group by Magna, it says that Volkswagen at Magna feels no longer good hands. According to insiders have already been issued orders to be been cancelled. From 2012, production of medium engines for the Porsche should be shifted Boxter and Cayman to Magna.

Equal voices are loud in Bavaria: BMW to terminate the cooperation since 2004.
