Effective recovery. The activity of the Caddy factory in Dettwiller resumes on Monday. The continuation of a long and painful soap opera: cessation of payment, placement in receivership, uncertainties about the buyers, and finally, green light from the court of Saverne on March 22, 2022.
This return to work is welcomed with “a mixture of concern and distrust” admits CFTC union representative Luc Strohmenger. The reduced workforce – 113 employees out of 139 before this recovery – is waiting to learn more about the new working conditions.
They will be set this Monday afternoon at 2 p.m. during a meeting of the staff authorities. It is during this CSE that they will discuss working hours and methods with new management.
Competitiveness objective
The former boss Stéphane Dedieu and the entrepreneur Pascal Cochez, leader of the eponymous group, specializing in transport and handling have already announced the color at the end of the takeover procedure. Objective : 17 million turnover for the first year of operation of Caddie SAS, the structure’s new name. To achieve this goal, the new group will focus on a reduced and more profitable product range, revise prices upwards, and use the know-how and facilities to act as subcontractors.
