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.
Rhodia, a world leader in the development and production of specialty chemicals, is to close its plant at Ceriano Laghetto (in the province of Milan), with the loss of 228 jobs. The closure results from a broad reorganisation plan of the Rhodia nylon production in Europe.
The trade unions reacted to the company’s decision by going on strike and organising several industrial actions with a view to involving both the local and the national authorities.
Rhodia has 68 sites and around 15,000 employees worldwide.
