Subordinate clauses
Could somebody please help me analyse this sentence:
(1)Since being acquired by Coca Cola in 2001, the number of workers has been cut from 1,500 to 65, with production curbed to 50,000 hectoliters.(2)
My guess
1 - Adverbial clause (temporal)
2 - Another main clause, with serves as coordinating conjunction??
Help much appreciated..

- Consider that instead of this, you could more simply say "with curbed production", which shows more clearly the adverbial aspect of what is being said.
