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.
Suchard, part of Kraft Foods France, announced on 4 September 2006 the reduction of the number of employees in its manufacturing plant of chocolate in the east of France (Strasbourg). The site, that currently employs 380 people, will shed 123 jobs between October 2006 and December 2007 as a result of a remarkable decrease in production. In this sense, in 2006 10,000 tonnes of chocolate were produced as opposed to 15,000 tonnes in 2003.
