DUNKIRK’S INDUSTRY SERVES THE WORLD

• The steel or aluminium in your car, of the bridge you drive on, of your fizzy drink can (and your electric batteries soon) might well be from Dunkirk but you just don’t know it.
• Agri-food companies also indulge the whole of France and beyond:
o Bananas, Coca-Cola, Cémoi chocolates, Lesieur oils and sauces and own brand products such as bread, pastries, pizza dough, sweeteners, coffee, French fries, and many others are made locally.
• Your electricity and your gas are produced here, of course!
Dunkirk is an essential link in French industry.
