Question 5928 — businesses

Summary

Mr. Peio Dufau draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for work and employment, to the situation of the company EPTA, whose head office is based in Hendaye in her constituency and which constitutes one of the flagships of the local economy. Specializing in commercial refrigeration, it employs 606 employees across the company's 3 establishments, including 552 in Hendaye, to which are currently added 150 temporary workers. In 2024, it published very good results and displays good financial health: a turnover of 278 million euros, a net profit of 13 million euros, an increase in dividends of 10 million euros to its shareholders. EPTA has benefited from 1,100,048 euros in subsidies from the Nouvelle Aquitaine region since 2019, to support its development. and its productive investments. However, Epta France has announced its desire to eliminate 15 administrative positions in the company's offices in Hendaye and 4 in Isère, to relocate them to Hungary. In view of its results, nothing justifies the elimination of these positions. He supports and understands the dismay and incomprehension of all employees, in solidarity with their colleagues threatened with dismissal and who fear that this first wave of layoffs is only the beginning of a reorganization or a more massive relocation. EPTA France would join the long list of companies which are reducing their workforce, even though they are in good health and making significant profits. He asks him what concrete measures he will take to save these jobs and how a company, aided by public funds, making profits and paying dividends, may be authorized to dismiss employees.
