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.
Belgian industrial printing company Hélio Charleroi, which is part of the Dutch Circle Printers group, informed their Works Council of their intention to reduce its workforce by 111 (of which 90 blue collar workers and 21 white collar workers).
The management attributes the job cuts to overcapacity and industry's price war in Europe following the decline of demand of printed products. The 'Renault' procedure has been launched to define the conditions of the internal restructuring. The company employs some 262 people at the Heppignies site.
