Description

The management of Grass Valley (2,607 employees), a subsidiary of Technicolor (formerly Thomson), announced, at the end of March the redundancies of 625 employees worldwide including 327 in France, 70 in the Netherlands, 64 in Germany. In France, where the company employs 884 people, the measures of collective dismissal for economic reasons will commence "as soon as possible" and affect sites at Rennes with 182 jobs lost out of 418, Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (113 of 392) and Brest (26 of 73). Grass Valley manufactures electronic boards and equipment for professional imaging, and is the subject of a proposed transfer that Frederic Rose, CEO of Technicolor, wants to finalize this year.
