On November 3rd, the Commercial Court of Orleans decided on the liquidation of Gainair (110 employees), a company which has specialized in the manufacture and installation of ducts.
The plant will close its doors on the 4th of November. On November the 7th, the liquidator met the works council before sending dismissal's letters. It is said that the low order volume is to blame for the closure.
