Nespresso Announces 178 Job Cuts In France

These projects are part of the plan announced in October 2025 by the new CEO, Philipp Navratil, to cut 16,000 jobs worldwide in order to reduce the Group's costs by more than €1 billion from 2027.

Nespresso has 1,300 employees in France.

“The teams at the 53 Nespresso boutiques in France and the sales force are not affected,” the company said in a press release.

The regrouping of customer relations services at Nespresso France's head office in Paris will result in“the closure of the Lyon site dedicated to this activity”, it added.

The company states that it intends to eliminate these positions“within the framework of a constructive social dialogue to favour internal mobility, voluntary departures and end-of-career schemes”.

According to Nespresso France, the reorganisation plan does not foresee any redundancies before 2027.

“In a fast-changing coffee market, we have a responsibility to adapt our organisation and embark on a new stage in our development”, explained management.

Nestlé had already announced in April that it was planning to cut up to 180 jobs in France in support functions, notably at its headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux (Hauts-de-Seine), as well as at two research centres in Tours (Indre-et-Loire) and Lisieux (Calvados).
