Ontex, a leading global producer of disposable personal hygiene solutions, has revealed plans to regroup its current production sites in the North of France.
The project consists of grouping its two current sites, Arras and Wasquehal, into a new site in Dourges and Noyelles Godault, located halfway between the current sites. This new factory is expected to allow the company to further improve its production apparatus and better serve its French and international customers, while also improving working conditions.Ontex, a leading global producer of disposable personal hygiene solutions, has revealed plans to regroup its current production sites in the North#
