The production is intended for Chinese school-children. The manager of the plant announced that it would recruit about 100 employees between 2016 and 2017. The contract was signed on 7 April between Sodiaal and the Synutra. Candia employs 1,500 people in France and had a turnover of €1.6 billion in 2014.
