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.
Alstom, the French rolling-stock manufacturer, has announced a recruitment campaign for 200 positions for its Belfort site. The new hirings will take place between now and December 2026. This initiative aims to support the growth of the site's activities, which specialise in the assembly of railway engines, particularly for high-speed projects and a contract with Ukrainian Railways.
The profiles sought are in production (boilermakers, fitters, cable installers, testers), supply chain, quality and engineering.
Social partners reacted positively: the deputy central CGT representative welcomed the announcement, calling it “very good news” and highlighting that the site had grown from 480 to 650 permanent employees over two years.
