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.
Kalmar is a market leader in container handling equipment in ports and terminals where containers are handled by ship-to-shore cranes, yard cranes, shuttle and straddle carriers, reachstackers and empty container handlers. Moreover, Kalmar's forklift trucks are used by heavy industry, its log stackers by the wood and paper industry, and its terminal tractors by distribution and logistics centres. Kalmar has production plants in China, Finland, India, Malaysia, Sweden and the USA, and operations in more than 140 countries. The dismissals at the factories in Ljungby and Lidhult are due to a decreasing demand in their products. Notice was given to some of the employees in November and to others in January.
