The future of Vencorex, a chemical company in Isère, is uncertain as BorsodChem, the only interested buyer, seeks to improve its acquisition offer. Meanwhile, Vencorex employees are on strike against a takeover proposal that threatens 450 jobs. The situation reflects broader trends in the industry, where restructuring and layoffs are becoming increasingly common. In a related development, Reims Aerospace, a subcontractor in the aeronautics sector, has been liquidated, resulting in the loss of 75 jobs. The company, which manufactured components for the aerospace industry, ceased operations after losing contracts with major clients such as Airbus and Dassault.
