Description

The Hautrage production unit of Reilly Chemical is to be relocated in the US (Indianapolis) and in Asia (Nantong). In December 2003, management also put an end to a small activity left in Belgium (25 jobs) because it was considered nonprofitable. More than half of the threatened workers found another job through the redeployment unit.
