Description
The Intuis group, which is specialised in the manufacture of heat pumps and thermodynamic water heaters, has announced that it will be recruiting around a hundred employees by 2024 at its site in Feuquières-en-Vimeu (Somme).
In 2022, the company announced that it would be investing in an extension to its site and invested €25 million to expand its site, which now has 45,000 m2 of operating space. New buildings have been constructed, as well as storage areas. The group plans to produce 100,000 heat pumps and 200,000 thermodynamic water heaters a year from 2027. The Group is following the ambitions set out by the French President, who has set a target of producing one million heat pumps a year in France from 2027. Intuis currently manufactures fewer than 10,000 heat pumps and around 35,000 thermodynamic water heaters a year.
The company employs more than 1,200 people at six plants in Hauts-de-France, Grand-Est and Pays de la Loire.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
