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.
Following the finalisation of its employer-employee negotiations, the US-based packaging manufacturer Bemis announced that it will cut up to 29 jobs. The job reductions are due to Bemis changing its production model in order to improve its service capability to its clients, as well as to improve its current and future cost efficiency. The reform will involve increasing centralisation and automation of activities.
The employer-employee negotiations were initiated in November 2017, at which point it was announced that job reductions would total 35. The trade union representative reported on 12 January that no employee had yet been dismissed. Further announcements are expected for spring 2018, to take effect later in the year.
