Description

The management of Itron, a company specialising in measuring instruments, has announced at a central works council meeting that it would close its Chasseneuil-du-Poitou site (Vienne) by the end of 2024 and that it would negotiate a job safeguard plan to cut 110 jobs on the site, out of a total of 145 jobs.

35 positions will be retained, of which ten would be transferred to the company's Mâcon site (Saône-et-Loire) and 25 will be teleworking. The first departures are expected to happen in June, after the negociation of the job safeguard plan is completed. The site will fully close at the end of 2024 after the production of the Linky meter has been transferred to Mâcon.

In 2015, the site had already undergone a restructuring that led to the loss of 124 of the 277 jobs (FR-Itron-2015)
