Description

The CEO of ACM Arcoa, the French builder of luxury yachts, announced on 19 January 2007 that it will create a new shipyard. ACM Arcoa will invest 14 million euro in the west of France (in Keroman-Lorient) on a 8,000 square-metre facility to build luxury yachts of up to 50 metres long. This responds to the increased demand for yachts.

Arcoa is expected to begin its activities in January 2008 and will recruit 150 employees between January 2008 and January 2009.
