A luxury leather goods company will set up in Mayenne and create 250 jobs

This is good news for the Mayenne economy. The luxury leather goods company Les Ateliers FIM, based in Fougères, has just announced its arrival in the department in 2022.

Faced with growing demand, the family group, which already employs nearly 600 people at its three sites in Brittany and its site in Pays de Loire, has decided to open a new manufacturing site in the Laval conurbation.

"This offers a strategic positioning vis-à-vis our other existing sites, proximity to Paris and easy connections for relations with principals, a dynamic employment pool and an attractive territory to welcome new talents", explains the manager.

Positions presented in Laval on October 12

The activity will start during the first half of 2022 in a rented workshop, before starting the construction of the final site on the artisanal zone of La Motte Babin in Louverné. For the launch of the activity, around forty professionals will be hired.

To present the vacancies, the company will be present at Espace Mayenne on Tuesday, October 12, 2021 for the job dating organized as part of Laval Employment Week.

250 employees within six years

Within six years, the company plans to recruit 250 employees. “This facility is a great opportunity for job seekers in our area who will be able to benefit from high value-added training to acquire the specific skills of making leather in the luxury sector. We can only be delighted with such a project”, concludes Florian Bercault, president of Laval Agglomeration.
