What you'll learn
- On 11 October 2022 a prefectoral order recorded the change of operator at the nitrocellulose installations of the Bergerac industrial platform, where EURENCO succeeded MANUCO, a company it had acquired and then absorbed by merger.
- The order came ten weeks after explosions had damaged one of MANUCO’s nitrocellulose buildings, and at a time when an emergency order still required all operations on equipment that had contained nitrocellulose to cease.
- The sequence captures a problem that the expansion of European ammunition and propellant production makes increasingly practical.
