No takeover offers for Fonderie de Bretagne before deadline
No takeover offers were submitted for Fonderie de Bretagne by the deadline, according to French lawmaker Damien Girard.
The foundry is in Brittany, and the news affects its employees and their families.
The deadline to submit offers expired at midnight on Monday, October 12.
A takeover offer could have allowed a buyer to take over the business.
The court is expected to order the company’s liquidation on Thursday, unless there is a last-minute change.
Liquidation would mean the company is wound up, putting its future and its employees’ jobs at stake.
No takeover offer was submitted for Fonderie de Bretagne before the deadline expired at midnight on Monday, October 12.
Damien Girard, a deputy from Les Écologistes, said the court was therefore expected to order judicial liquidation on Thursday, unless there was a last-minute change.
Girard said his first thoughts were with the foundry’s employees and their families.
The report described the lack of offers as a catastrophe that could have been avoided.
