Question 17773 — industry

Summary

Ms. Aurélie Trouvé alerts the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, responsible for industry and energy, on the situation of employees and temporary workers of the company MA France located in Aulnay-sous-Bois, a subcontractor of the Stellantis group. MA France has initiated a bankruptcy procedure, directly threatening 400 jobs. Located in the heart of the former PSA factory closed in 2014, MA France, owned by the Italian group CLN, has been active since 2003. It is one of the last representatives of the automobile industry in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, employing 280 employees and 120 temporary workers. Specializing in utility vehicles, the factory provides shoeing and stamping for its customers. These 400 workers now see their jobs seriously threatened. In fact, the principal, Stellantis, which represents 80% of the factory's activity, refuses a renegotiation of contracts with its subcontractor and plans to relocate production to Turkey. These negotiations, between MA France and Stellantis, whose employees were kept aside, particularly concerned the alignment of prices with inflation and now seem abandoned. It is essential to emphasize that Stellantis supplies raw materials and has the press tools of MA France, a legacy of the integration of the factory into the ecosystem of the former PSA site. The responsibility of Stellantis, as principal, supplier and customer of MA France is therefore fully engaged. On April 17, 2024, MA France employees launched a strike which completely stopped production on the site. Several Stellantis assembly plants were therefore forced to shut down in just a few days later: the sites of Poissy and Hordain in France and that of Luton in England. In 2023, the Stellantis group announced record profits of 18.6 billion euros. Its CEO, Carlos Tavares, recently increased his remuneration to 36 million euros and the group chose to pay 6.6 billion euros in dividends to its shareholders. The company is therefore materially able to reassess the amount of contracts with its subcontractors. But it chooses to maximize profits, rather than maintaining hundreds of local jobs, weakening the lives of so many families. The disappearance of these jobs would have dramatic implications on the economic and social situation in the area, exacerbating an already difficult situation. A first hearing with a view to filing for bankruptcy of MA France will be held on Monday May 6, 2024 at the Bobigny commercial court. She asks him what concrete actions the Government intends to implement to bring the Stellantis group back to responsibility and preserve the jobs of MA France employees.
