Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
The Polish retailer of computer and consumer electronics Komputronik announced that it will cut 300 positions throughout a collective dismissal programme. The redundancies will affect employees at various units located across the country. As the source reports, the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the financial situation of the company, but Komputronik has been struggling with difficulties for some time. In early March 2020, Komputronik launched a restructuring programme, which aims at rationalising business processes and improving financial effectiveness.
Komputronik was founded in 1996; currently, the company has about 140 stores across Poland, offering over 100,000 products.
