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.
In May, 2008, Electrolux got the permission to build a second household appliances factory in Żarów (the already existing Żarów-based plant produces dishwashers) which will employ 504 people by the end of 2009. The decision to build the new plant is part of Electrolux’ corporate plan of moving production to Poland. So far the company has closed down 8 out of 30 plants in Western Europe. It has lately announced that it’s going to reduce 750 jobs in its Italian refrigerator factories.
