Sporting goods manufacturer Adidas-Salomon (www.adidas-salomon.com), Herzogenaurach / Germany, plans to reduce the workforce at its Salomon plants in France by 160 over the next two years and move jobs abroad. Up to 2007, the share of production in France is to sink from 55% to 35%, and 363 jobs will be lost. At the end of last year, the company said it would eliminate 60 jobs in its German manufacturing operation.
