Description
Sibell, a crisp manufacturer based in Aubagne near Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), will end its operations and will dismiss all its 149 employees. The Marseille commercial court pronounced the company's liquidation on 6 July. Employees with over one year of seniority will be able to receive redundancy payments.
This was the second time that Sibell was placed in receivership. In 2019, the Marbour group took over the assets of the company, which was founded in 1988, via its subsidiary Manon SAS. The COVID-19 pandemic and the rising price of sunflower oil have made it even more difficult for the Marbour group to relaunch the business.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
