The group Hamelin has announced the closure of three of its plants with 244 job cuts. The affected plants are the ELBA site of Monnerie-le-Montel (Puy-de-Dôme) where 63 employees are involved in the production of binders; the ELBA site of Ecrevolles near Troyes (Aube) employing 67 people and L'Oblique, a site in Villeubanne (Rhône) producing suspension folders (47 employees). The production of this last site will be transferred to Germany. The group will also cut about 67 positions among its administrative staff at its headquarters in Caen (Calvados).

According to l'Usine Nouvelle the closure of the site in Monnerie-le-Montel is scheduled for October 2013. According to CFDT, the process of information and consultation on the different social plans will start in September to allow plant closures before the end of the year.
