Seems to be a direct translation of fr:Novacel. Currently just contains a timeline, list of products and employee turnover rates. I would advocate for a re-work, but currently, I think the entire article can be deleted and started fresh once someone actually wants to spend time on it.

Merge/redirect to the parent company, Chargeurs. It seems to be a respectable busness, listed among "major European companies" in 1998, but unfortunately it is close to impossible for a random wikipedian to find independent references which say anything about the company beyond basic stats. Hence I doubt there is a chance to have it as a separate article per English wikipedia notability rules. Staszek Lem (talk) 00:38, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This company is probably notable, but the lead and the history section seem to be a very close paraphrase of this and a copy of this from the company website (I haven't checked the rest of the article), so this should be deleted as a copyright violation without prejudice to the creation of a properly independently sourced article.
