Somfy announces the temporary suspension of operations at its French, Italian and Tunisian production sites, as well as the temporary suspension of operations at its Bonneville logistics site in France. This suspension reflects the Group's desire to protect employee health in the current Covid-19 context as well as to respect measures taken by local authorities for the sites affected.

The suspension will enable the Group to reinforce health measures already in place at these production sites and guarantee Somfy employees a safe working environment. 

The sites affected by the interruption are:

  • - Production site in Cluses, France
  • - BFT and Way production sites in Italy
  • - Sitem production site in Tunisia
  • - Logistics site in Bonneville, France

To date, all other production sites in China and Poland remain operational. An assessment of the situation at each production site is being carried out daily.

Somfy Group's main services are operational, thanks to remote working policies set up for all employees whose jobs are compatible. These measures provide as much continuity of service as possible for the Group's consumers, customers, and service providers.

The Group's priorities today are to ensure everyone's health as well as to continue following commitments to customers.
