Nestle had already said in June that it would close its factory in Ludwigsburg, near Stuttgart, where it employs around 100 staff.
In addition, the world’s largest food maker will now close a laboratory in Weiding, Bavaria, where 85 positions are being cut. Meanwhile, some 106 positions will be lost at a baby nutrition plant in Biessenhofen, also in Bavaria, with 95 jobs are going at a Maggi plant in Luedinghausen, North Rhine-Westphalia.
Reuters reports Nestle made the announcement after striking a deal with German unions on packages offered to employees losing their positions.
