Motion control technologies and systems manufacturer Parker Hannifin France, part of the global US-based Parker Hannifin Corporation, is to cut at least 187 jobs in France.
On 25 September, Parker Hannifin has announced to its Central works council a major restructuring plan affecting about 15% of its total workforce across 12 of its 13 French sites.
As announced, the plan envisages 81 job cuts (out of 163 total jobs) at its site in Dijon due to relocation of the activities to the Czech Republic, 63 job cuts (out of 160 total jobs) at its site in Annemasse (38 additional jobs will be redeployed within other company sites) and 43 job cuts (out of 264 total jobs) at its site in Contamine-sur-Arve.
