Description
French cold meals firm Madrange has announced a restructuring plan involving the loss of 147 jobs at its sites in Limoges and Feytiat, both in central-western France.
Requested by the central work council' of Madrange, the public accounting has presented its report. The group had suffered from the acquisition of a site in 2001. In addition, the group has not invested enough in research and development to design new products, resulting in a decline in sales.
In March the company, which was looking for a buyer, announced it would remain family-owned.
