Description

The Polish-Norwegian group Morpol will open its first production plant in Cuisery (Saône-et-Loire) next to its logistics base established in 2009. The new plant will generate the creation of a hundred jobs in 2012, and 200 or 250 further jobs in three to four years. The group intends to reach 30% market share in France, according to John-Paul McGinley, head of public relations for the group.
