The cutbacks will be largely in the form of early retirements and voluntary redundancies with some staff also being offered transfers to other branches of Nestlé France. Implemented by end-2008, they will affect staff working in a range of support functions such as IT, HR, Communication and Supply Chain but excluding Sales and Marketing.
According to union sources, the company has shed 1,200 staff over the past three years reducing its global workforce to just under 17,500 staff.
Nestlé France is also planning to sell three of its French plants as part of an on-going strategy of moving away from so-called traditional products and into more profitable sectors linked to nutrition and health.
