“The court has confidence in our project. It allows us to continue our activity to give us time to get things back on track,” reports the director. The judicial recovery procedure has been extended until the end of August. The protection of the commercial court might be renewed for six more months. “This is our objective,” Romain Quéré makes no secret. We need time to find and bring in the volumes needed to break even. »

Rent freeze

The single-operation mixed economy company (Semop) has been unable to balance its accounts for years. In 2022, it had lost 300,000 euros due to the drop in volumes and the increase in energy prices. Today, it seems that all the players, local elected officials and parliamentarians, breeders, suppliers and communities are mobilizing to save the slaughterhouse.

On April 10, the CdC decided not to ask for rent from Semop this year, a saving of 84,000 euros. Under these conditions, financial equilibrium would be achieved with a volume of 1,000 tonnes. “It’s achievable. We were at 940 tonnes last year. The new porcine ankle that we have started to develop continues to grow,” optimizes Romain Quéré. The director also salutes “the commitment of the ten employees who are there every morning and who believe in it”.
