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.
The French contract logistics company ID Logistics, which operates in warehouse logistics and e-commerce, is creating up to 350 new jobs in replenishment storage and distribution of FMCG products with a new distribution center in Estorf (Lower Saxony).
The facility will open a further 60,000 m² of warehouse space in September 2025. This will expand the site and serve as a central transshipment point for supplying numerous sales outlets and other warehouses. In total, ID Logistics will employ up to 600 people at the site in future.
The measure has met with broad support from the stakeholders.
ID Logistics is an international logistics company with around 30,000 employees worldwide. The company opened another e-commerce warehouse with 17,000 m² of space in Mittelweser Park back in 2024.
