Minister of the Armed Forces, Sébastien Lecornu, is traveling this Thursday to Bergerac, in Dordogne, to the Eurenco site. The French industrialist produces explosives and artillery ammunition powders, which represents a strategic issue for France.
Until now, it had to be transported from Sweden or purchased from Italian, German or Swiss suppliers. “We are only at the beginning of the rise of the munitions industry,” puts a diplomat into perspective.
