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.
Thales Group, a French multinational company which designs, develops, and manufactures electric systems, devices and equipment for the defence, aerospace, transportation and security sectors, has announced the recruitment of 400 employees in 2025 at its Limours site. This decision is justified by the war in Ukraine, which significantly increased their sales of air defence radars. Thales is a leader in the radar market, which is crucial and expanding in Europe due to the ongoing war, and it needs to meet the increased demand for war supplies and materials.
This expansion is a first recruitment wave as part of a recruitment campaign of 3,000 workers in France in 2025, of which 25% (750) workers will have permanent positions.
