STMicroelectronics plans to cut about 1,000 jobs in France as part of a global cost-cutting initiative due to financial pressures and weakening demand in key sectors.
The layoffs in France account for over one-third of the 2,800 global job reductions targeted by the company, affecting approximately nine per cent of its French workforce.
The job cuts in France are expected to be voluntary and spread gradually through 2027, while the exact locations of these layoffs have not been specified.
STMicroelectronics hints at reshuffling its manufacturing operations in Tours and Crolles, focusing on a shift away from legacy wafer production towards other international locations such as Singapore.
