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.
It has been reported that the Italian motor components manufacturer Ducati komponenti has opened a new production facility in the Croatian town of Ludbreg, not far from the city of Varazdin, and will create 152 new jobs over the next several months. The new facility is spread across 4,000 square metres, currently employs 32 people and cost a total of €5 million. Ducati komponenti operates as a part of Ducati Energia.
According to the Mayor of Ludbreg, the town is one of the better examples of employment growth and economic development in Croatia. Currently, more than 3,500 people are employed in this relatively small town, which amounts to an increase of 25% compared to four years ago.
