Duralex takeover validated, 155 jobs saved in French glassmaker

French glassware maker Duralex, under judicial reorganization for the fifth time in 20 years, has its takeover by Cédric Meston's holding company Tomé validated, preserving 155 jobs. The company had been employee-owned since 2024, but the cooperative model failed to prevent insolvency. This marks another ownership transition for a storied brand, with implications for local employment and industrial policy.
