March 15 (Reuters) – Hermès HRMS.PA announced on Tuesday that it is continuing to develop its production capacities with the creation of two new factories in France which will create 500 jobs by 2026.

“Ultimately, 500 craftsmen will exercise their know-how of excellence in the future workshops located in Charente, in the town of L’Isle-d’Espagnac, and in Gironde, in the town of Loupes”, specifies the group in a communicated.

These two new projects, which should be completed one in 2025 and the other in 2026, are added to the three other sites under development in Louviers (Eure), Tournes and Cliron (Ardennes) and Riom (Puy -de-Dome).

The manufactures of L’Isle-d’Espagnac and Loupes will constitute the 23rd and 24th leather goods workshops of the house, indicates the group.

Since 2010, Hermès has opened nine leather goods stores in France, bringing the number of saddler-leather craftsmen within the group to more than 4,300.
