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.
Hewlett-Packard Co plans to cut 300 to 350 jobs in Germany in 2005, WirtschaftsWoche magazine reported, citing unnamed sources within the company. As part of the restructuring, the sources told WiWo that HP plans to close its operation in Cologne, where it employs 160 workers. 'As a result of the Triaton purchase and a variety of outsourcing contracts, HP staff increased from 7,400 to 10,000', an HP manager told the magazine. 'Consequently, we have to make some adjustments.' HP bought the IT group Triaton from ThyssenKrupp AG in February 2004 for €340 million.
