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.
Getinge Sterilization, a manufacturer of medical sterilization equipment, has announced that it is to let go 50 employees in Getinge, Sweden. The restructuring will affect 15 white-collar jobs and 35 blue-collar jobs. The reason for the decision is a decline in orders; the dismissals are made in an effort to improve efficiency. Getinge Sterilization currently has 368 employees. The company operates as a subsidiary of Getinge AB.
Negotiations with trade unions have been initiated and the restructuring is expected to be implemented within three months.
For previously announced restructurings see Getinge-EU2012, Getinge Disinfection-SE2012 and Getinge Sterilization- SE2012.
