Cofigeo to close Lagny-sur-Marne plant, cutting 142 jobs

Ready-meal maker Cofigeo (William Saurin, Raynal et Roquelaure, Zapetti, Garbit) will close its historic Lagny-sur-Marne plant (a William Saurin site since 1962) in mid-2027 and cut 142 jobs under a job-protection plan (PSE); production moves partly to Capdenac-Gare (Aveyron, 41 new jobs) and Pouilly-sur-Serre (Aisne). Chairman Mathieu Thomazeau cited a 17% drop in activity since 2022 due to market fragmentation and inflation (AFP via Agri-Mutuel, 8 Sept 2026).
