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.
Alstom Transport, the subsidiary of the Alstom group, specialising in the transport, mainly rail, and turbine sectors, has announced the investment of 150 million euros in its production sites in France, leading to the creation of a thousand jobs. This decision aims to deal with the company's delivery delays and to create new jobs. The group plans to increase its production rate from 12 TGV trainsets per year to more than double that. This initiative responds to the report commissioned by the Ministers of Transport and Industry on systematic delays in the rail sector.
The recruitment process is not localized in one site precisely. A new assembly line is planned for the Petite-Forêt site near Valenciennes for €30 million. The La Rochelle site will double its capacity. The Belfort site will receive a new 250-meter building for the final coupling of trains.
