Description

French lingerie manufacturer Lejaby announced plans to cut 197 posts across France as it closes three factories. The company has been experiencing poor sales and is looking to slash the share of its manufacturing in France from 30 per cent to 10 per cent in order to drive down the costs of its products. The sites to be closed are located in Bourg-en-Bresse, Bellegarde-sur-Valserine (Ain) and Le Teil (Ardèche).
