The hope of Scop

The project for St. Scop -Cécile was born after the site twice in less than three weeks saw dawning offers that have come down to the water.

On February 18, a small business of the Greater Caen Declomesnil, filed a project for the recovery of 118 employees before removing four days later.

Then, during a roundtable at the Ministry of Agriculture on 26 February in Paris , the directors had reported a “serious track,” they had confirmed in court on 6 March. But the candidate, who requested anonymity, threw in the towel after three days.

Sainte-Cécile employees were on strike on February 18 because they blamed their shareholder and supplier principal, Cap 50 cooperative, to sell his overpriced pork. Breeders have taken from the commitment not to engage in prohibitive prices.

But the floor of Coutances opened on February 24 a preliminary investigation after receiving a letter from the CFDT accused of having 50 Cap lost € 22 million in four years to AIM by forcing it to buy more expensive pork she could sell it. Management denies and recalls that pig production is in continuous crisis since 2008.

AIM is one of the last independent slaughterhouses of supermarkets in France . Established in 1956 and acquired in 2003 by Cap 50, the company is 64% owned by the cooperative and 34% by the group of cattle feed JDIS. It achieved a turnover of € 246.7 million in 2013.

The company also has offices in Dangy, Saint-Lô (Manche) Bernay (Eure) and Nogent-le -Rotrou (Eure-et-Loir), 5 to 24 employees each, that are not the subject of any takeover offer.
