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.
Frigo, a Barcelona-based ice cream manufacturer owned by Unilever, has announced that it is to close and dismiss its 268 workers (aged between 45 and 55 years, 80% are women). Although the formal procedure for collective dismissal has been initiated and the closure notified to the government of Catalonia, the company said that it is "considering all possible options to minimize the impact of the closure and is in the process of preparing a social plan for the redundant workers".
