The Tarbes steelworks are requesting judicial reorganization

The industrial group Europlasma has announced that its subsidiary, Les Forges de Tarbes, has filed for receivership. This action was taken with the Tarbes Commercial Court after consultation with the works council. The aim is to preserve operations and facilitate the company's recovery.

Europlasma, a company specializing in pollution control and decarbonization, indicated that a court decision is expected in the coming days. This situation arises within a context of financial instability, where the European subsidiary implemented a financing mechanism in April 2026 in the form of convertible bond issuance warrants to address its economic difficulties.
