Overview
- Nestlé, which outlined the France plan Thursday, said up to 180 support roles could be cut at its Issy-les-Moulineaux headquarters and R&D sites in Tours and Lisieux.
- After open roles, new hires and internal moves are counted, the company estimates the net impact could be 75 to 100 jobs.
- The measures would roll out progressively from 2027 through legally required layoff plans in France, with priority given to internal mobility, voluntary exits and end‑of‑career options.
- The company said France’s food market is under strain from weak household purchasing power, higher production costs and tougher competition.
- On the same day, Nestlé reported first‑quarter sales of 21.3 billion Swiss francs, slightly above analyst forecasts.
