The purchase of the industrial equipments of Technicolor, a daring bet for Alm

Angers Loire Métropole has made a bet. At the auctions of the equipments of Angers Technicolor, organized on December 20th, the authority bought all the tools and equipment necessary to resume an industrial activity on the site. The board of Alm, who has decided to purchase later to Technicolor the land of the factory, considers in a press release that those acquisition was "a first step". 

"Through that repurchase, the agglomeration avoids the disperse of the production tool and preserves the possibility of a resumption of the activity", writes Alm whose industrial plan and industrial partners are not known. Up to now, a few reactions the local medias displayed on their website have disapproved the money Angers Loire Métropole involved in the acquisition. These readers criticize a bad use of public receipts and the risky bet of the local authority.

That one believe it's possible to create about 200 jobs through several industrial projects. Now the only thing Angers Loire Métropole can do is to go till the end of the logic with the purchase of all the plot of Technicolor because it will manage all the future of the site, and its potential conversion in real estate projects. The plots, once sold to real estate developers, could fuel some money useful for the setting up of industrial area for future projects.
