Some employment (administrative of white collars) will be transferred to the holding (Setforge) and other employment will be included in the factories (in: Saone-et-Loire, Puy-de-Dome and Aisne). Furhtermore, the other factories (Saone-et-Loire, Puy-de-Dome and Aisne) will create 51 new jobs in addition in order to develop their productions.
