Nestl\u00e9 plans to cut around 180 jobs in France as part of its broader cost-cutting programme, the company\u2019s French division said, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n
The proposed reductions form part of a wider restructuring effort first outlined in October, when the food group announced plans to cut thousands of roles globally.<\/p>\n
Cuts to focus on support and R&D roles<\/p>\n
Nestl\u00e9 France said most of the affected positions would come from support functions and research and development roles.<\/p>\n
The company did not indicate that the reductions were linked to performance issues, positioning them instead as part of an ongoing effort to streamline operations and manage costs.<\/p>\n
The latest move follows Nestl\u00e9\u2019s earlier announcement of 16,000 job cuts globally, as it seeks to improve efficiency across its business.<\/p>\n
The group, one of the world\u2019s largest food companies, has been adjusting its cost base amid shifting consumer demand and rising input costs.<\/p>\n
Sales performance remains steady<\/p>\n
The job cuts come despite relatively strong recent performance. Nestl\u00e9 said it had beaten first-quarter sales forecasts and maintained its full-year outlook, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n
However, the company flagged potential risks, including higher energy and freight costs and the need to improve performance in the Chinese market.<\/p>\n
Nestl\u00e9\u2019s planned reductions in France underline how large consumer companies are continuing to balance cost control with growth pressures, even as sales remain resilient.<\/p>\n
The move suggests that restructuring efforts across the sector are likely to persist, as companies navigate economic uncertainty and rising operational costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nestl\u00e9 plans to cut around 180 jobs in France as part of its broader cost-cutting programme, the company\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54740,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[126],"tags":[30738,30732,30740,30737,199,30730,10291,30734,30725,30735,30724,30736,30729,30723,30726,30727,9415,30733,30728,30739,30731],"class_list":["post-54973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nestle","tag-consumer-goods-layoffs","tag-food-industry-layoffs","tag-france-job-cuts-news","tag-global-layoffs-2026","tag-nestle","tag-nestle-16000-job-cuts","tag-nestle-business-strategy","tag-nestle-china-market","tag-nestle-cost-cutting","tag-nestle-energy-costs","tag-nestle-france-job-cuts","tag-nestle-freight-costs","tag-nestle-global-layoffs","tag-nestle-layoffs","tag-nestle-layoffs-france","tag-nestle-rd-jobs","tag-nestle-restructuring","tag-nestle-sales-forecast","tag-nestle-support-roles-cuts","tag-nestle-workforce-reduction","tag-reuters-nestle-report"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
