More bad news for European tyre making has arrived in the form of Michelin’s decision to close its Cholet and Vannes plants in France by early 2026 at the latest. The company announced this planned measure to the two facilities’ 1,254 employees this morning. When added to the approximately 1,500 employees at three locations in Germany, where operations will cease by the end of 2025, Michelin has announced some 2,750 job cuts within Europe in the past year.
