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 Dutch company BDR Thermea specializing in the manufacture of domestic and industrial heating appliances employs nearly 850 people in France. As part of a social economic committee meeting, it announced the elimination of 370 jobs in France, including 320 or more in its site located in Mertzwiller in the Bas-Rhin region which will cease its operations by 2027.
The company is stricken by the collapse of the heat pump market and competition from numerous foreign actors, particularly from Asia. It has therefore recorded considerable losses and a deficit of nearly €17 million. Two factsheets have already been published on BDR Thermea : [BDR Thermea 2021 - FR (https://apps.eurofound.europa.eu/restructuring-events/detail/106090) BDR Thermea 2022 - FR
