Tyre maker Michelin is planning to scrap 614 jobs next year, a company spokeswoman told Reuters on Wednesday, adding the bulk of the cuts would be made at the company’s French headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand.
The cuts would be part of a larger plan aimed at increasing efficiency announced in January, the spokeswoman told the news agency. She added, at the same time, 322 new roles would be created in France next year.
Reuters said French news agency AFP first reported about the cuts, citing an internal document sent to labour unions.
