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.
German lighting manufacturer Osram is planning to create up to 1,000 new jobs in Regensburg within the next years. Most of the new positions will be created in the production and development department. This is mostly due to the fact that demand for infrared parts for smartphones and further new products like infrared and LED elements for automobile assistant systems increased recently.
Osram cut 1,800 and 105 jobs in 2014 due to the decreasing demand in traditional light bulbs.
Osram currently employs about 2,200 employees in Regensburg and about 25,700 worldwide.
