This type of confectionery, which is also sold in Switzerland, will in future be manufactured by an independent producer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn July 2026, Nestl\u00e9 Hung\u00e1ria informed the staff representative bodies that it would cease production at its Di\u00f3sgy\u0151r site in December 2026\u201d, a spokesperson for the Vevey-based giant told the AWP news agency, confirming press reports from Hungary.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe factory currently produces only hollow chocolate figurines, which are sold in many countries around the world,\u201d he added. \u201cThis decision is driven by the decline in demand for seasonal confectionery products observed in recent years, which has led to a significant drop in activity at the Di\u00f3sgyor site,\u201d located in the north-east of the country.<\/p>\n

Nestl\u00e9 states that this production unit accounts for less than 3% of Nestl\u00e9 Hung\u00e1ria\u2019s turnover and 0.4% of its production volume in the country. According to its website, 220 employees manufacture products that are then sold in 20 countries.<\/p>\n

The food giant states that negotiations \u201cregarding the sale of the site and the continuation of its operations\u201d are \u201cat an advanced stage\u201d. It adds that it wishes to \u201cpreserve as many jobs as possible\u201d.<\/p>\n

The company intends to continue offering consumers hollow chocolate figurines, particularly in Switzerland. \u201cIn future, these will be manufactured by a producer independent of Nestl\u00e9, in accordance with the company\u2019s strict quality requirements.\u201d <\/p>\n

The multinational\u2019s other factories in Hungary \u2013 such as Szerencs, which manufactures and bottles powdered drinks such as Nesquik and Nescaf\u00e9, and B\u00fck, where pet food is produced \u2013 \u201care continuing to expand.\u201d<\/p>\n
