The commercial court of Lille Métropole placed MG Valdunes in receivership on Monday, appointing a receiver whose responsibility will be to find within six months a buyer for the last French manufacturer of wheels and axles for the railway. The procedure now allows a public call for tenders to be launched.

Around fifty employees from the two sites – Leffrinckoucke near Dunkirk and Trith-Saint-Léger near Valenciennes – made the trip. They said they were rather “reassured” after the court’s decision.
