Fonderie de Bretagne to be liquidated, 244 workers face job loss
The Fonderie de Bretagne in Caudan will be liquidated after no buyer emerged, leading to 244 redundancies.
The historic Fonderie de Bretagne, located in Caudan, Morbihan, is slated for liquidation after the tribunal de commerce of Lorient found no concrete proposal to rescue the plant. The court will pronounce the decision on Thursday, confirming the termination of operations that have spanned sixty years. As a result, 244 workers will be laid off, a blow that has left staff feeling defeated after prolonged hardship.
Union representative Maël Le Goff of the CGT expressed the collective sorrow of the workforce. Regional leaders Loïg Chesnais-Girard, Fabrice Loher and mayor Fabrice Vély issued statements acknowledging the impact on families and praising the employees' professionalism during the difficult period.
Why it matters
The closure eliminates a long-standing employer, affecting hundreds of families and the local economy in Brittany.
