The company announced it will file for redressement judiciaire with the French commercial court, citing a net loss of €35.6 million in 2025, more than double the previous year's deficit. Europlasma had acquired the Breton foundry in April 2025 and, according to a June 14 Le Figaro report, had already signaled its intention to divest military‑related activities to curb losses. The filing reflects the group’s inability to meet its debt obligations and triggers a court‑supervised restructuring process that could involve asset sales, cost‑cutting, or continuation of operations under supervision. Union representatives have warned that the move raises concerns about job security at the site.
