Description
The commercial court of Soissons has placed the house builder Seissigma in liquidation on 28 October, leading to the dismissal of around 100 employees. Seissigma was building 260 houses in the Aisne, Nord and Marne regions, and had 160 new projects. All projects have been halted due the court's decision to liquidate the company without continuing its activity.
Working under the "Maison Pierre" franchise, Seissigma, a company created by François Desreumaux in 2018 in Cuffies, near Soissons, was unable to meet the objectives set by Maison Pierre to build 300 houses per year.
