Description

Automotive supplier Filtrauto is to close its site in Saint-Pere-en-Retz (93 staff) and to transfer its production in Agentan (52 staff) to Vire.

As it is unclear if the Agentan-based staff can transfer to Vire, the total decrease in headcount could amount up to 145 jobs.

Filtrauto belongs to the Italian group Sogefi (7,100 employees worldwide). The company operates 4 production sites in France, and 4 others within the EU.
