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.
IBM Slovakia expands its business in Slovakia and establishes a new unit in Kosice. The company will create about 170 new jobs there until the end of 2013.

IBM Slovakia has asked for state aid supporting its infrastructure investment and the creation of new jobs.
