AGC Glass France has informed the staff of the Boussois Industrial Unit of its intention to close the B2 float line,which has been in operation for over 21 years,while committing to maintain the site within the company.This line closure is a direct consequence of the current energy crisis.The plant specialises in the production of flat glass for the building industry and employs 135 people.It operates in a market affected by overcapacity in Europe and,for some months now,by the very strong pressure on prices resulting from the inevitable impact of the energy surcharge.The intention to close the B2 line is with the aim to preserve AGC's flat glass activities in Europe.
