Description
The Tullins-based company Eur’Ohm was created in 2003 and specializes in electrical equipment for professionals. In 2023, the company lunched a project of significant expansion of the site in Tullins and relocation of its production, predominantly based in China. This operation aims to meet the growing demand from consumers (mainly French) and reduce the company carbon footprint.
It plans to construct a new facility near its existing one in Pays Voironnais, investing over ten million euros. The expansion, scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2024, will increase production lines from three to sixteen within three years, accompanied by a workforce expansion from approximately 100 to 150 employees. The relocalization initiative aligns with Eur’Ohm's commitment to environmental values, incorporating green practices such as green electricity, solar panels, and the use of biodegradable materials. This move is not only driven by environmental responsibility but also by customer demand for sustainable practices. Despite the relocalization, the company will maintain its three green-oriented factories in China ,for medium-scale productions, ensuring no impact on the existing Chinese workforce of around 700 employees .

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.
