"Since the start of this crisis, the Group's priority has been to protect its employees and we have decided to invest in this production, which will start this summer. This decision, shared with the trade unions, makes us collectively stronger to win against the Covid-19 "indicates Xavier Chéreau, Director of Human Resources and Transformation of Groupe #psa.
The sanitary crisis has led the Group to deploy a protocol of reinforced health measures at each of its sites to protect its employees. This protocol provides in particular for the distribution of two to four masks per day per employee.
To support the implementation of this protocol, the Group has decided to be autonomous by producing masks in France from August 2020.
Machines are manufactured by a French company on the national territory. Production will be organized in two concomitant phases:
Ultimately, 10 million masks could be produced monthly in Mulhouse, for the protection of Group employees and organizations fighting against the virus and exclusion.
The Mulhouse site has all the sanitary characteristics necessary to manufacture this type of material.
Employees dedicated to the production of masks will be trained by our partner from June.
