Description

Bénéteau has announced its intention to create 400 new jobs in 2011, much of the job creation will take place at its sites in France.  The ship and yacht building company Bénéteau will add 400 employees to its French and foreign operations. Most of the new employees will be based in the factory of Poiré-sur-Vie (Vendée, 250 jobs), almost doubling the number of employees at the site.
