Description

The French arm of German mobile home and caravan producer Hymer went into liquidation on 31 March, resulting in the immediate closure of a plant in Alsace and the loss of 190 jobs. A drop in orders led the German parent company to start liquidation proceedings in November 2009. Unions are reportedly in discussions with other businesses to launch new operations at the redundant plant.
