Question 17325 — industry

Summary

Mr. Emmanuel Duplessy draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the situation of SCOP Duralex and the prospects for maintaining its industrial activity. An emblematic company of French industrial heritage, Duralex has been a major player in the glass industry for several decades and a symbol of made in France. Located in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin, in Loiret, it also represents an essential employer for the region. Following the legal recovery procedure initiated with regard to SCOP Duralex, the Orléans commercial court decided, on July 2, 2026, to open a plan to sell the activity. This situation gives rise to serious concern about the future of the company's 243 employees as well as the maintenance of this activity. industrial in the Loirétain territory. This development takes place in a broader context marked by the difficulties encountered by many French industrial companies and by the multiplication of restructurings in several strategic sectors. In Loiret, the economic and social consequences of the difficulties encountered by certain companies, particularly in industry, have already strongly affected the local fabric and employment. Beyond the particular situation of Duralex, this procedure raises the question of the preservation of French industrial know-how, the maintenance of production capacities on the national territory and industrial sovereignty, regularly affirmed as a priority by the public authorities. Also, he asks what measures the Government intends to implement to support research of a buyer, guarantee the sustainability of the activity of the La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin site, preserve the jobs of the 243 employees and sustainably support the French glass industry.
