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.
Toy producer LEGO is to expand its production and create up to 1,000 new jobs in Kladno by 2015.
The company will invest in a new manufacturing site at Kladno, where a total of 3,000 staff will be working in production and administrative jobs. The job expansion partly can be attributed to the offshoring of production from Denmark.
Denmark-based Lego has been operating in the Czech Republic since 2000, and has expanded its operations during the period 2006 to 2013. Currently, the firm employs some 2,000 people in the country, having become the largest employer in the region.
