The industrial group Legrand announced on Thursday a reorganization plan for its activities in France which will result in the closure of four sites and the elimination of 178 jobs by 2028. Specializing in electrical and digital infrastructures for buildings, the group explains that it wants to strengthen the competitiveness of its French production in a context of increased international competition and evolving markets.
Based in Limoges, the company plans to consolidate the relevant activities at other French plants in order to further specialize its industrial sites. According to management, this strategy should improve industrial performance, modernize production tools, and strengthen certain activities deemed strategic for the group.
Over 80 million euros in investments announced
Alongside this restructuring, Legrand states its intention to invest over €80 million in its French sites over the next few years. The group presents this plan as a strategy to sustainably preserve "Made in France" by strengthening the competitiveness of its factories and developing new industrial capacity within the country.
To support the affected employees, the company states that it will implement internal redeployment solutions as well as a voluntary retirement scheme. This announcement comes as several major French industrial groups have undertaken restructurings in recent months aimed at adapting their production facilities to new economic, technological, and environmental constraints.
