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.
Irca, an Italian manufacturer of electric heaters and heating systems, is to hire 150 employees with the upgrade of the factory in Conegliano.

The recent increase in demand, which is expected to double in 2015 and increase even further within the next three years, has led IRCA to invest EUR 10 million and upgrade the Congliano plant.
