Duralex takeover validated, 155 jobs saved in French glassmaker rescue

French glassware maker Duralex's takeover by entrepreneur Cédric Meston was validated by the commercial court of Orléans, preserving 155 of ~220 jobs. The company had entered judicial reorganization for the fifth time in 20 years, following a failed employee cooperative. This marks a continuation of recurring financial distress for the firm, with the outcome securing partial employment but not addressing structural viability.
