This project follows an overall cost reduction program that the company has been pursuing on a worldwide basis, notably in China, the United States of America, Mexico, the United Kingdom, South Africa and Russia. The project would also impact the Manufacturing Coordination department and some support functions. The project does not involve the R&D in Meudon and La Ciotat, nor the personalization center of Tours. The overall net impact of the project would involve 409 positions including 362 positions in the Orléans facility. The Company employs close to 3 500 people in France. emmanuelle.saby@gemalto.com www.gemalto.com
