Metzeler will produce car pane gaskets for the new Peugeot 1007 in Dzierżoniów (Dolnośląskie). This part of production will be moved from France. Bernard Lacoste, director of the French factory in Charleval declares that moving production to Eastern Europe brings savings of at least 30%. It is estimated that Metzeler might relocate from 400 to 500 jobs.
