The new 5,200 square meter plant will boost annual processing capacity from 4,000 metric tons to 9,000 metric tons a year, according to statements in the French media.

This plant will be mounted alongside the current site from the first quarter of 2010, to start production a year later.

Between €10 million and €15 million ($21 million) will be invested in the plants, according to reports.

As the plant is to be highly automated it will not need many more employees than the fifty that currently work on its Lorient plant.
