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.
US online retailer Amazon has announced that it will create 600 new jobs at its Dobrovíz distribution centre located near the city of Prague. The recruitment campaign has already begun. Since mid-March, the company has seen an increase in demand. The COVID-19 pandemic and related measures force consumers to stay more time at home, buying more often online.
Globally, Amazon is positioned to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the broader collapse in retail.
