Duralex, a well-known glassworks company based in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin (Loiret), is facing financial challenges once again. The company had to halt its operations during an energy crisis and now has to deal with a court decision that requires them to pay off a debt incurred in 2020 by the previous operator. This debt, which amounts to 1.3 million euros at current prices, was caused by Duralex exceeding its greenhouse gas emissions quotas in 2020, leading to potential fines of 2 million euros.
The financial burden of this debt is significant for Duralex, as it impacts their ability to maintain sustainable operations. The company, which employs over 230 people, has decided to appeal the decision of the administrative court and filed a complaint against the former manager for leaking confidential documents regarding a planned sale of the company. Despite these challenges, Duralex remains committed to finding solutions that will ensure its financial health and longevity in the industry. By taking legal action and exploring all available options, the company is working towards resolving these obstacles and thriving once again.
