Nespresso to Cut 178 Jobs in France.

Nespresso, the premium coffee brand owned by Swiss multinational Nestlé, has announced plans to cut up to 178 jobs in France as part of a wider global cost-reduction strategy.

The job cuts will mainly affect marketing and customer service operations in France. However, the company confirmed that its sales network and retail boutiques will not be impacted by the restructuring.

Nespresso currently employs around 1,300 people in France. As part of the reorganization, customer relations services will be consolidated at the company’s Paris headquarters, resulting in the closure of its Lyon site dedicated to this activity.

The company stated that the restructuring will be implemented through internal mobility, voluntary departures, and end-of-career schemes. Nespresso also emphasized that no forced redundancies are planned before 2027.

This move is part of a broader restructuring plan announced in October 2025 by Nestlé’s new CEO, Philipp Navratil. The global strategy aims to eliminate around 16,000 jobs worldwide and achieve more than €1 billion in cost savings by 2027.

Management explained that the changes are necessary due to rapid shifts in the global coffee market. They stated that the company must adapt its organization to remain competitive and support long-term growth.

Earlier, Nestlé also announced additional job reductions in France, including support functions at its headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux and research centers in Tours and Lisieux.

While the restructuring reflects significant operational changes, Nespresso confirmed that its retail boutiques and customer-facing sales teams in France will continue to operate without disruption.

Swiss Rail Freight Restructuring Impacts Nearly 200 Employees

Swiss Federal Railways is reorganizing its freight operations, leading to major internal changes that will affect nearly 200 employees across Switzerland.

The restructuring focuses on strengthening wagonload freight services (TWCI), where wagons from different customers are combined into single freight trains to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.

The Swiss government has assigned SBB’s cargo division a public service mandate, requiring it to improve performance and ensure long-term sustainability in freight transport.

Under the new plan, the company aims to make freight operations profitable by 2033. SBB stated that the revised system will become significantly more efficient starting in December, as part of a broader modernization strategy.

As part of the restructuring, employees will either be relocated, retrained, or integrated into subsidiary companies or partner networks. The company emphasized that redundancies will remain rare and will be considered only as a last resort.

Around 30 employees in French-speaking regions of Switzerland are directly affected, with support measures offered to help them transition into new roles within or outside the organization.

The freight overhaul reflects Switzerland’s efforts to strengthen its logistics infrastructure while adapting to changing transport demands and financial pressures in the rail sector.
