ERJ staff report (RPN) Quincy, Illinois − Titan International Inc. remains open to making a bid on Goodyear's troubled Amiens Nord plant in France, but some hurdles still remain in the way of a deal taking place in the near future, reported Mike McNulty for Rubber & Plastics News. For the time being, Titan said it will wait and review a severance pact between Goodyear and the Comite d'Etablissement d'Amiens Nord (CGT) labour union representing about 1,200 workers at the factory. Goodyear reached an agreement with the CGT on 22 January. Details were not released but union officials at the farm and passenger tire plant said the package was worth more than previously offered. However, various government regulations covering plant closures in France still must be dealt with before the plant can be put on the selling block.
