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.
Sanyo, a member of Panasonic group has announced the closure of its site in Dorog, and the dismissal of all 500 employees in September 2013. The liquidation process is expected to end in March 2014, and the equipment will be transported to Malaysia and Japan.
In its Dorog plant Sanyo produced solar panels since 2005. The decreasing volume in European orders brought the decision of closing down the site here.
