Despite the upcoming rearmament effort, the Verney-Carron Armorier threatened with liquidation for lack of public support

The Stephanese manufacturer of shotguns and weapons of war desperately awaits a loan of 4.5 million euros to hold until it is bought by the Belgian FN Browning. Bercy refuses to grant it, at the risk of precipitating the closure of the company, but the Ministry of the Armed Forces rises to the niche.

In judicial reform since mid-February, Verney-Carron risks liquidation in the next few days. In parallel with discussions with the state, leads are raised by local elected officials, including the purchase of the walls by the city of Saint-Etienne.
