Forge
Peugeot were able to choose a relatively spacious site for their Mulhouse plant, which is the only car plant in France to incorporate within its fences a large forge, originally transferred from the company’s Sochaux location in 1963.[2] The forge supplies other plants in Stellantis as well as third party customers including Ford, Volvo, Renault and BMW.[4]
Volumes
In 2005 output reached 400,000 vehicles, but in 2006 this was reduced to 341,000, and in 2007 to 294,000. In 2010 output recovered to 321,000.[5]
Personnel
In 2007 Peugeot employed 10,400 people.[6] at Mulhouse. The plant attained unwelcome media notoriety in 2006 and 2007 when several employee suicides led to questioning in the newspaper l'Humanité of the levels of pressure placed on employees to achieve ever more stretched objectives.[citation needed] In 2011 the reported headcount at the Mulhouse plant was down to 8,500.[5]
