In September 2009, Nexans SA announced it was to shed
400 jobs in France and completely close a production unit.
The group aims to reduce the activities of Nexans France and
Nexans Copper France to cap costs. “This project aims to restore
their competitiveness and ensure their future in a market...hard
hit by the economic crisis,” the company said in a statement.
As part of the project, 387 layoffs will take place in the
production units of Clichy (Paris), Fumay (eastern France),
Jeumont (northern France), Lyon (southeast France), Mehun
(central France) and the Chauny production unit in northern
France, which will be closed. However, around 50 jobs will be
created in Nexans France and Nexans Copper France.
Nexans France, which makes half of its revenue from exports,
has seen its sales directly hit by difficulties in traditional buying
countries. This was made worse by the emergence of powerful
local competitors in export markets and increased competition
in the French market from Italian and Spanish cable makers.
“In this context, Nexans France has seen its activity level slump
by 20 per cent in the first half of 2009, compared with 2008,”
the company said.
