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.
Expleo, a French engineering and technology services group, is recruiting 280 engineers and technicians by the end of the year in Île-de-France. The hires aim to support industrial projects in aerospace, space, defence, automotive and other sectors, enhancing operational performance for its clients across the region. The majority of the profiles are therefore business managers, automation or electronics development, and embedded software development engineers, project management officers.
The expansion reflects the company’s commitment to digital innovation and sustainable development, with new talent sought to deliver advanced electronics, embedded software, and data solutions that drive smarter and more environmentally friendly products.
Several large-scale restructurings have been recorded in the ERM database Expleo 2026 -FR.
