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.
German construction chemicals producer PCI Augsburg is relocating its production to its headquarter in Augsburg resulting in the closure of its plant in Hamm (North Rhine-Westphalia) in the second half of 2026. The closure affects 105 employees.
The company is attempting to carry out the restructuring exercise in a socially responsible manner. Therefore, they entered negotiations with the works council regarding a severance payment or social plan.
In total, PCI Augsburg employs around 700 people. Since 2023, PCI Augsburg has been part of the Stuttgart-based Sika Group, and processes have been reorganised since then.
The company also has a site in Wittenberg, where it is investing and plans to expand production.
