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.
Potato processor McCain is closing its production site in Grobbendonk. As a consequence of a new centralizing plan, the production will be relocated to a site in Leuze-en-Hainaut. Higher costs at Grobbendonk and the inability to expand the older facility which is in a residential area were cited as reasons for the closure. A Loi Renault collective redundancy procedure has been initiated in respect of 120 workers, of which 90 are blue-collar, production workers. White collar workers without a link to the production department will continue working in Grobbendonk.
