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.
Sergio Rossi, the San Mauro Pascoli-based footwear manufacturer owned by Lanvin Group, has initiated collective redundancy procedures affecting its approximately 180 employees. The workforce is currently under extraordinary wage supplementation through 31 December 2025. The redundancy procedure, opened on 16 September, operates on a voluntary basis, offering employees financial incentives to leave whilst allowing others to remain with the company.
The redundancy process occurs alongside advanced negotiations for the company's sale. Industry sources indicate that co-founders of a luxury brand distribution company are the prospective buyers, though this remains unconfirmed by the parties involved.
Trade unions have commenced dialogue with the company to manage the transition and preserve employment levels where possible.
