On 21 November, Albany Engineered Composites announced to its central works council plans to dismiss 201 employees at two French plants. 126 positions will be cut in Sélestat (Bas-Rhin) and 75 in Saint-Junien (Haute-Vienne).
The group stated that it saw a decrease of the traditional markets in Europe and North America and an increasing demand in Asia and South-America. The group plans to open a new site in Commercy (Meuse) by the end of 2013 and will give a priority to the redundant employees.
