(FILES) An employee checks stemmed glasses on a production line at the factory of the Arc International company, specialised in the design and the manufacture of table glassware, in Arques, on September 13, 2022. The court is expected to approve on Friday, March 20, 2026, the takeover of glassmaker Arc by sole candidate Timothée Durand, a member of one of the group's emblematic leading families. However, the associated redundancy plan calls for 704 job cuts at its main site in Arques (Pas-de-Calais), which currently employs 3,500 people. (Photo by DENIS CHARLET / AFP via Getty Images)
