And on this ground we are ahead of our targets

Public authorities are beginning to worry seriously. This summer, the tribunal de commerce de Niort awarded the resumption of Heuliez Bernard Krief Consulting. It was this, or the liquidation of the automotive OEM in filing of balance, and removing more of 600 jobs. On paper, the buyer and the partner of United Arab Emirates, the Midex air cargo company, were both to boost activity and inject funds to recapitalize the company. Industrial and commercial recovery did take place. But promised money was slow to arrive, raising questions at Bercy as to the strategic fund investment (ISP) and personnel.

Bernard Krief reassuring

Before the delay, the ISP, which was to twist the arm by the Government to participate in the rescue of Heuliez, has recently asked an industrial audit and financial, learned from concordant sources. "Before releasing the EUR 10 million on which it is committed, the ISP wants to know what the exact situation, where are the other funds which should arrive", explains a good connoisseur of the folder. The draft provides that the buyer provides 16 million euros, and public communities 15 million (10 million of the ISP and 5 million of the Poitou-Charentes region). Gold for the time being, Bernard Krief Consulting has only released last week a little more than 1 million-"and yet, with a day of delay in the deadline", said one of those who follow the case on the day the day. Essentially, which must come from Midex, is expected. "For weeks, we are told that it is imminent, said a representative of the staff." We were shown a slip showing that Midex well transferred 100 million in France. But this money is not intended only for Heuliez, and not a cent has yet landed on on behalf of the company.

Already at the time, some fear the worst. And quietly, with other potential purchasers were approached to take over, in case... A possibility that Louis Petiet, the CEO of Bernard Krief Consulting, rejected totally. "Not concern!, he says.". All the commitments will be required. We have released our share of the capital, and Midex funds will be released as planned here on December 31. This is not Dubai, are not impacted by the crisis.

His eyes, own funds are not the key. "A company, it lives by its customers, its products, its operations, its bills, argues Louis Petiet.". And on this ground, we are ahead of our targets. "Side invoices, General Electric has very quickly established a line of factoring of EUR 45 million. Side commercial, "the confidence of manufacturers seems to return, confirms a CFDT delegate. They prevent more equipment manufacturers of rank 1 we assign work. It is to recover the activity.

Products, finally, the CEO of Bernard Krief Consulting is enthusiastic. The development of electric vehicles, frozen by the filing of balance, departed. "Next year we will have a range of four electric models, whose three will be put on sale on the Internet on Tuesday. The production of the small Pelican tricycle has already begun, and of the pickup SimplyCity just to present to the Congress of mayors will begin before the end of the year. "A trade unionist summarizes:"Step of miracle, but there was de facto job."
