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 toy manufacturer, LEGO, will stop production in Denmark. This means that 900 out 1200 employees will be made redundant during the next three years. The management expects that part of the redundancies will be employees leaving for natural reasons, not being directly dismissed. The management and the local unions are working on a plan to re-employ the employees. The production in Billund, Denmark, will be relocated to Kladno, The Czech Republic, where Flextronics have taken over LEGO's facilities.
