0 Belgium: InBev announces intention to restructure Belgian organization

InBev Belgium, a subsidiary of InBev announced on November 30 the conclusions of its study into the efficiency of its activities and processes, resulting in the intention to restructure its organization.

The study aimed at identifying ways to optimize InBev Belgium’s activities. The study concludes that three types of activities would be subject to restructuring: production and logistics, marketing/sales/distribution and the supporting services. The changes under consideration are designed to result in a stronger focus on the core activities, and also in cost savings, which would in turn result in added value, quicker decision-making and improvements to efficiency, service and quality.

The proposed changes would have consequences for employment at InBev Belgium. Today, the concerned works councils have been informed of the changes under consideration and the possible impact on employment. In total a maximum of 232 employees would be involved in a redundancy procedure out of a total of 2898 InBev Belgium employees. However, InBev Belgium expects to be able to avoid at least 67 redundancies by transferring employees to functions within the new organizational structure.

Based on the conclusions of the study, InBev Belgium is starting today the information and consultation procedure with the works councils. After this consultation, a ...
