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.
On the 23rd of April, the restaurant and bakery company Groupe Le Duff announced plans to recruit 150 employees in 2025. This decision is related to their investment of 100 million euros in Normandy to transform a production site in Falaise (Calvados) of the Frial brand (frozen ready meals), which belongs to the group, into a Bridor production site.
This transformation is part of a context of strong growth for BRIDOR products, symbols of French know-how and excellence. This expansion is accompanied by a comprehensive recruitment and training program across the globe. Opportunities are available in all areas, from production to sales, including research and development and marketing. The LE DUFF Group's industrial division doubles every four years, and currently has 28,000 employees. With this new production capacity, the Group aims to double again by 2030.
