Description
The globally operating Nexans Group has announced its plans to cut 486 jobs and create 39 jobs in France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. These measures are part of a European-wide restructuring initiative including also the transfer of 462 workers between sites in the same countries.
The planned restructuring measures follow adverse market conditions and a 2.9% drop in sales in the first three quarters of 2013. The job creation will take place mostly in the group’s R&D units.
Negotiations on the restructuring process will officially start on November 6th and stretch over 4 months. In an attempt to minimize social consequences, employee and union representatives will be included in the process.
In 2009, the group had already cut 387 positions in France (see Nexans – FR2009).

European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
