Peugeot-Sochaux: A Solid Inheritance and Incessant Change

Jean-Pierre Durand and Nicolas Hatzfeld

Chapter 1 in Living Labour, 2003, pp 7-27 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Peugeot’s Sochaux plant, the biggest factory in France, has a particular place in French society. On the one hand, it is thought of as the birthplace of one of the greatest French companies: Peugeot, and by extension the whole of the PSA group, is still called la firme de Sochaux, ‘the company from Sochaux’. Despite substantial shrinkage, Sochaux remains the group’s biggest car factory, and occupies a distinctive place in its manufacturing structure: the site assembles cars, produces parts shared by the whole group, and is also home to PSA’s engineering and organisation and methods divisions. Sochaux is thus characterised by both an impressive history and an energetic reorganisation of production.
