Swiss elevator-maker Schindler Holding AG plans to eliminate 2,000 jobs as the global economic slump brought on by the coronavirus pandemic caused a double-digit slump in orders.

The cuts -- equivalent to about 3% of its global workforce -- will be chiefly among administrative functions and take place over the next two years, the company said on Friday.
