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 online grocery retailer MatHem announced that it would close two warehouses in Malmö and Gothenburg in September of 2024. The closures will affect 150 workers in each city. The decision follows a longer period of economic strain on the company. The company has a target to become profitable by 2026, and this includes streamlining their entire value chain. One step in this process is centralising their warehousing activities to the recently constructed warehouse in Larsboda, outside of Stockholm, which is much larger and more automated.
