Under the so-called policy of adapting industrial development needs in Clermont-Ferrand, France, Michelin announced that it will close the tire retreading plant in Clermont-Ferrand and will further abolish 164 job functions in its headquarters engineering operations. Michelin also plans to invest 90 million euros in the area. Michelin said that since 2007, sales of retreaded tires have been declining in Europe, coupled with increasingly fierce competition for imported tires coming to China, and it is impossible to reverse the decline in sales in a short time. In view of the current “renovation crisisâ€, the production of retreaded tires had to be limited in the case of overcapacity in the European tire retreading sector. In fact, the adjustment of retreaded tire production, Michelin has long since begun. In November last year, a small refurbishment plant in Alexandria, Italy, was closed. In Germany, due to the serious difficulties faced by the European refurbishment market, Air Llorente will be closed by the end of 2016 and will be based in Awanglon, France. Integration. It is understood that Michelin has 2,400 employees worldwide, of whom 970 work in the Clermont-Ferrand area. The closure of the retreaded tire factory Michelin has not been forced to force layoffs. It will employ 330 employees, including 266 production workers, in accordance with the classification and plan arrangements to other factories. If a person close to retirement wants to retire early, Michelin will provide them with an early retirement plan. At the same time, by the end of 2018, the restructuring will reduce 164 job functions, involve relevant staff, and also not force layoffs. Instead, it will provide an internal mobility plan that can choose to work in new functional departments and factories, supplemented by a voluntary retirement plan. Comments: Compared to Han Xie's large-scale layoffs in factories in China, forced laborers to change for four shifts in three shifts, Michelin can be described as "people-oriented and perfect."
