Overview
- Néstle España, which on Tuesday announced a formal collective layoff known as an ERE, said up to 301 roles could be cut, about 7% of its workforce in the country.
- The plan covers offices, sales teams, distribution centers, and six factories in Reus, Girona, Pontecesures, Sebares, La Penilla, and Miajadas.
- A consultation period with worker representatives now begins, and the company says it will seek ways to reduce job losses and support affected staff.
- The Spanish reductions form part of a global restructuring announced last autumn to eliminate about 16,000 positions.
- Nestlé cites rising operating costs, shifting consumer habits, and the growth of retailer brands, and it plans more automation and digitalization to boost efficiency.
