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.
The Polish retail chain Komfort, specialised in rugs, carpets, wooden floors and interior design accessories, announced that it plans to cut about 200 jobs throughout a collective dismissal programme at its units across Poland. The programme will affect both stores and warehouse staff. The company undertook this restructuring programme as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, as currently all stores are closed under the Anti-Pandemic Scheme. The company had only recently embarked on a phase of expansion with the opening of a new logistics center in Stryków near Łódź. Komfort has been operating in Poland since 1992; the company has over 160 stores across the country.
