Since October 1995, Polymoulages has specialized in manufacturing polyester and polyurethane parts. Based in Bazeilles, in the Ardennes region near Sedan, the company is one of the few factories engaged in this activity. “They specialize in SNCF (French National Railways) platforms,” the mayor told us. “Everything is destroyed, the entire building, as well as the molds and molding presses. Sixteen employees are now temporarily laid off.”
