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.
The large Danish abattoir, Danish Crown, is to cut 861 jobs at its departments in Esbjerg, Rødding and Holstebro. The reason is a declining production of slaughter pigs in Denmark combined with the international recession including some of the large markets of Danish Crown. The department in Esbjerg, 90 employees, will close in the first week of May and the deboning company in Rødding (308 employees)will be closed in August. The abattoir in Holstebro will also close and 463 will be made redundant beginning from March. However, the management keeps the possibility to reopen the abattoir in Holstebro later. Danish Crown is in a phase of restructuring, and new redundancies as well as job creation in other parts of the company are possible during 2009, the management said.
