Workers led by the CGT union demonstrated on Thursday against a plan by Renault to sell the Fonderie de Bretagne in Caudan that makes cast-metal parts for combustion engines
The factory halted production after access was blocked
following a so-called boss-napping incident on Tuesday when local managers were detained into the night
Fonderie de la Bretagne is acquired by the German industrial holding company Private Assets SE & Co
The takeover enables the implementation of the FDB transformation plan
which includes numerous diversification and modernisation measures
As Maude Duval reported in the news portal Bretagne économique
the acquisition of Private Assets will enable the implementation of FDB's transformation plan
modernising the industrial tool and improving performance
The transformation plan was initially developed in cooperation with the Renault Group (strategic partner and customer of FDB) when FDB was sold to Callista 2022
Private Assets also aims to create a European foundry group by merging FDB with Procast Guss GmbH (formerly: Class Guss GmbH) - which includes several German iron foundries with a production capacity of 55,000 tonnes - and the Spanish foundry Procast Abadino
This merger provides significant synergy opportunities for the reorganisation of FDB and its transformation into a coherent industrial complex
FDB advisory committee meets for the first time
After the announcement of the takeover by Private Assets
an advisory committee made up of Jean-Michel Jacques
Mayor of Lorient and the agglomeration of Lorient; Fabrice Vély
Mayor of Caudan and Vice-President for Higher Education
Research and Innovation in Greater Lorient; Florence Bessy
Administration of the Department of Morbihan; Gael Guegan
Director and Regional Councillor for Economic Development of Brittany
Director of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Morbihan and Peter Nass
responsible for the organisation of the FDB Advisory Committee
Key figures of the plant and company development
The first meeting of the FDB committee took place at the end of July 2024 in the FDB factory halls
After the participants were welcomed by FDB Managing Director Jérôme Dupont
a presentation with the plant's current key figures followed
Sales Manager Natalie Delourme gave an insight into the company's development
This was followed by a guided tour of the factory halls and further presentations on current developments linked to the diversification of production
The diversification and modernisation measures include the following points:
New decoring line: the new decoring line is one of the main drivers for adapting to new markets
as it makes it possible to expand the range of products offered
particularly in terms of the production of larger parts
New finishing cells: Another key element in order to be able to respond specifically to the new variety of components is the installation of new manual and robot-supported finishing cells to expand the current machine park
The project is managed by Franck Jousse and the FDB team
Energy efficiency and FDB qualification: Other projects in the FDB transformation plan include increasing energy efficiency
The qualification of FDB as a supplier through new customers and their first orders is also planned
These are customers from the agricultural and transport machinery
is responsible for all diversification and modernisation measures with the support of Bastien Morbidelli
the FDB management thanked all committee members for their continued support
A further thank you went to the FDB employees
who are also actively involved in the transformation process

Thousands in western India relief camps begin returning home as Cyclone Biparjoy recedes
Reunion (AP) — Mauritius lifted its highest weather alert and eased a nationwide curfew Tuesday after a deadly cyclone battered the Indian Ocean island
causing heavy flooding and extensive damage in the capital and other parts of the country
The nearby French island of Reunion was assessing the aftermath of Tropical Cyclone Belal
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said two more bodies had been found
Belal ripped through the region off the east coast of Africa on Monday and early Tuesday but was now heading further into the Indian Ocean
the Mauritius Meteorological Services said
The Mauritius government said that the head of the meteorological services had stepped down after his institution was accused of not giving adequate warning about the storm’s impact
and elsewhere turned into raging rivers on Monday as Belal brought torrential rains and high winds
Some people climbed onto the roof of their cars and clung on
according to videos published by Mauritius’ L’Express newspaper
The person killed in Mauritius was a motorcyclist who died in an accident caused by the flooding
The three who died in Reunion all appeared to be homeless people who had not taken cover in shelters
Mauritius Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth and other members of his Cabinet visited areas that had been hardest hit
The government said that Belal had left “a trail of damage over the country.”
Mauritius has a population of about 1.2 million people and is a popular tourist destination
Police were still mobilized across Mauritius
the government’s National Emergency Operations Command said
Schools and many businesses were to remain closed until at least Wednesday
Mauritius had enforced a curfew until noon Tuesday
with everyone ordered to remain at home except emergency workers
residents emerged from their homes Tuesday to clean up
Men in shorts trudged through ankle-high waters down a street in the town of Saint-Paul as winds buffeted the palm trees
Emergency workers scooped up branches and other debris blocking roads
In the nearby town of Saint-Gilles-les-Bains
trees had crashed onto quays and into the picturesque marina
but roads to reach them remained impassable
Some 40% of Reunion’s 860,000 people had no electricity and nearly half the island was without internet or cell phone service
The French government sent some 150 rescuers and electrical workers from the mainland and the nearby French island of Mayotte to help
and Darmanin was expected on Reunion on Wednesday
Cyclones are common between January and March in the Indian Ocean near southern Africa as seas in the southern hemisphere reach their warmest temperatures

Despite the cancellation of the 13th annual Mauritius Pride march following death threats from anti-LGBTI protesters
Mauritians still went on to celebrate pride this past weekend
State police informed the event organisers
that they could not protect parade attendees after anti-LGBTI protesters illegally gathered along the parade route
The protesters claimed that Mauritius Pride was immoral and anti-Islamic
It was also reported that some were carrying weapons
despite the violent threats and cancellation of the parade
a group of Mauritians still held a pride event at the Caudan Waterfront in Port Louis to mark international Pride month
Carou Labonne from Collectif Arc-en-Ciel said that more than 500 people showed up to the Mauritius Pride event
“Some islands were invited to join our pride [including] the Seychelles and Madagascar.”
Labonne explained that because of the death threats
the organisers decided to have a sit-in pride instead of a march
“We wanted to focus on what LGBTI actually is; humans trying to be humans with love
Much loved Mauritian-born Lilliane Burnett was invited to be the godmother of the pride and she attended with her son
Labonne said that the organisers were still receiving death threats from anti-LGBTI protesters
Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth and the police commissioner had earlier given their full support for the pride march. According to France24
arguing that “the rule of law must prevail and authorities will do what is necessary following this unacceptable and illegal demonstration
The Catholic Church on the island also spoke out for the rights of LGBTI people to gather peacefully
“Regardless of one’s moral beliefs about homosexuality
we would like to express our indignation at the way a LGBT parade that had police permission was obstructed by illegal protesters,” commented Cardinal Maurice Piat
The Mauritian LGBTI community is protected from discrimination by law
sodomy and oral sex are deemed illegal and carry a jail term of up to five years
CAEC has launched a petition, calling for people who are advocating for LGBTI rights and peace in Mauritius, to sign it. You can find the petition here

Mauritius: Les Assises de l’entrepreneuriat, organised by the Ministry of Industrial Development, SMEs and Cooperatives in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) of Mauritius and Seychelles on 15 and 16 March 2023, kicked off this morning at the Caudan Arts Centre in Port Louis
The Minister of Industrial Development, SMEs and Cooperatives, Mr Soomilduth Bholah, the Head of Socio-Economic Development Unit of the UNDP Mauritius and Seychelles
and other personalities were present at the opening ceremony
Minister Bholah highlighted that Les Assises de l’entrepreneuriat is being held with the objective of ensuring the successful implementation of policies put in place and brainstorming about new measures to be initiated to empower aspiring entrepreneurs
“This platform will regroup stakeholders from different sectors who will debate and formulate proposals so as to provide technical assistance and financial support to entrepreneurs,” he observed
According to the Minister, it is essential to support SMEs
which contribute 44% to national employment and 35% to Gross Value Added
so that they can become more resilient towards external shocks such as supply chain and trade disruptions
Minister Bholah dwelt on some support measures taken to assist SMEs and entrepreneurs in their business
These include various schemes set up by SME Mauritius Ltd
such as: the Business Transformation Scheme; Market Readiness Scheme; Technology and Innovation Scheme; Greening Support Scheme and; Agri-Business Scheme to develop internal capability
and improve the competitiveness and productivity of enterprises
In addition, Mr Bholah outlined some measures taken as regards capacity building of existing and aspiring entrepreneurs
such as equipping the Headquarters of SME Mauritius Ltd and its four revamped outstations across the island with improved logistics to provide training in different fields
Regular fairs commonly known as ‘Salon des PME’ are also organised in order to help SMEs enhance their visibility
promote their products and indulge in networking
As regards the 10-year Master Plan of the SME Sector launched in 2017
Minister Bholah underlined that it was revised in order to find solutions to sustainable development challenges
“The Mid-Term Review of the 10-Year SME Master plan confirms that the SME Development Framework is functional and is efficiently shaping the SME sector,” he said
Minister Bholah urged SMEs to leverage new technologies so as to respond to the world’s fast-changing digital landscape
speaking on behalf of the UNDP Resident Representative for Mauritius and Seychelles
underscored that UNDP has increasingly positioned itself as a leading development partner for Mauritius and Rodrigues through its various levels of support in building a resilient economy with human development at its heart
The themes for Les Assises de l’entrepreneuriat
have been planned in a strategic manner to create a vision for entrepreneurship in Mauritius
embedded within a broader support network where Government and the private sector come together to redefine the spirit of entrepreneurship
she appealed for a stronger synergy between different actors to strengthen relationships and simplify procedures so as to encourage more young people to adopt an entrepreneurial spirit
with hand-holding from the conceptualisation to the implementation of their projects
Mrs Beejan further remarked that both inward and outward-looking strategies should be adopted so that businesses are able to participate on an equal level playing field since Mauritius is increasingly vulnerable to external shocks and globalisation
