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.
Lidl Italia, Italian branch of German supermarket chain Lidl, announced the opening of 30 new stores and the creation of 2,000 new jobs in Italy.
The chain has been operating in Italy for 24 years, and it has a total workforce of 12,000 people and 570 stores (see also Lidl ItaliaIT-2015).
About 80% of the new employees will work in the new stores, while the remaining share will be employed at the headquarters, in the administrative offices and across the ten Italian logistics centres.
The recruitment process has already started. Recruitment days have been organised mainly in the south of Italy, where most of the new stores are expected to open.
