Description
The commercial court has ordered the liquidation of Laboratoires Prodene Klint, a subsidiary of the Gojo group, resulting in the loss of 160 jobs. The production site at Croissy-Beaubourg (Seine-et-Marne) is specialised in the manufacturing of soaps, detergents and cleaning products. In particular, it manufactured hydroalcoholic gel for disinfecting hands during the COVID-19. The reorganisation follows the announcement in April by the American group Gojo that it was to cease all production and marketing activities in Europe.
