Paul bakery owner seeks court protection for Château Blanc unit, putting about 220 factory jobs at risk in France

Holder Group, the family-owned French company best known for its Paul bakery chain, has asked a commercial court to place its industrial subsidiary Château Blanc into judicial reorganization—a French court-supervised process similar to bankruptcy protection.

The Lille Métropole commercial court was asked to open the proceeding at the group’s request, as Holder struggles to turn around its industrial arm.
