Description
Jacquemard announced on 3 October 2005 the suppression of 296 jobs in Romilly-sur-Seinethe (Aube region). The costs are seen as too high in comparaison to Asian or Eastern Europe workforce. Hence, the production of the site will stop and will be delocalized in the manufacture of Romania which opened in 2002, which employs 420 workers in 2005.
