The sugar manufacturer Tereos is making a strategic pivot. The French giant announced this Wednesday, March 8, the closure of two shopping centers in France, a sugar factory and a distillery. This resolution could lead to the elimination of 149 positions within the framework of an order to “reorganize its commercial activity in France. ”

The management of Tereos France, which announced these projects to the representatives of the interested parties, says that it must give priority to the relocation of its workers through “internal mobility”. It should offer “different positions within the other centers” of the organization in the region, Christophe Lescroart, director of agricultural and commercial activities in Europe, was quoted as saying in the press release.
Specifically, the sugar factory founded in Escaudoeuvres, in the North, which represents 123 positions, will close. On the other hand, 30 positions will be maintained in the site’s logistics center, which includes garage silos, he said.
The Morains de Marne distillery, with 26 jobs, is the only one of the six in the group that is not incorporated into a commercial matrix. The decision to close is related to a relief in processed volumes and the “underutilization” of the distillery for several years.
Despite the increase in the value of sugar, Tereos (Béghin Say brand), the second largest sugar organization in the world, explains its solution through “a sustainable reduction” of sugar beet production in 2023-2024. In one year, the number of planted spaces fell by 10%. The organization is also facing falling returns due to the threat of jaundice, according to a press release.
In addition, Tereos announced that it is looking for a customer for its potato starch factory located in Haussimont (Marne).
