French management announced on 8 April 2005 the relocation of two French sites specialized in electronic cards and computer peripherals. These two relocations towards the Czech Republic will involve 316 suppressions by July 2006 out of 336 workers. The reason evoked is the loss of Celesticas largest customer Adaya representing about 96 % of Guérande sites production. The twenty remaining jobs in Saumur site will be kept as an after-sales service.
