'The French people want to save us': help pours in for glassmaker Duralex

While there is no shortage of irrelevant details, the article is very light on relevant details. What prevents the factory from staying in business? Not enough orders? The French people supposedly love this glassware and orders pour in whenever the company is mentioned. They have the factory up and running, they have employees. The workers own the means of production, what could be better than that?

Why do they need to expand into new product ranges, if the existing products are in such high demand? I'm not sure if the proposed pint glasses for British pubs are a sure winner. Why not stick with what already works?

None of this is explained in the article.

New products and new markets clearly help finances. Burning that much gas has got to be their major expense. Are there other way to heat the furnaces?
