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.
On 24 March 2011, online bookshop Amazon announced the building of a new transport and distribution centre near Augsburg, Bavaria, creating 1,000 permanent jobs within in the next three years. Further up to 2,000 additional fixed-term jobs may be created during periods of high turnover, such as before Christmas. The new centre is expected to start its operation in the third quarter of 2011.
