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.
According to the daily papers Politiken and Børsen, the Danish producer of special designed radios, stereos and TVs, Bang & Olufsen (B&O), announced that 125 employees of the company's 1,000 Danish workforce will be made redundant. The main reasons, according to the management, are limited profitability despite rising revenues and supply-chain problems with subcontractors which are leading to unmet demand for the group's products. It is the intention to cut costs by around 100m DKK per annum. Job cuts will mainly take place in the AV-department that produces TVs and loudspeakers.
