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.
Apoteket in Örebro announced that they would dismiss 100 of their 180 employees in October of 2024 after the company lost a tender to provide prepackaged doses of pharmaceuticals to their competitor Apotekstjänst Sverige for the two regions Västra Götaland and Halland. The workforce reduction will only affect the dosing unit in Örebro, meaning the pharmaceutical unit that packages pharmaceutical products in dosage adjusted packaging which it delivers to pharmacies.
In 2012, Apoteket closed five out of its seven total dosage units. In 2015, one of the two remaining units in Umeå was also closed, and all production was centralised to Örebro, where production was expanded with a new dosing unit.
