Overview

• The company announced a reorganization that would cut 205 positions and create 38, resulting in 167 net job losses mostly at the Crolles site.
• Syrup manufacturing will be entrusted to Slaur-Sardet in Le Havre to keep production within France.
• A specialized firm has been mandated to seek a buyer for the Crolles factory as an alternative to closure.
• If no takeover is secured, production at Crolles is scheduled to stop around April 2026 following information‑consultation with employee representatives.
• Teisseire attributes the plan to an uninterrupted 10-year decline in brand sales, intensifying competition, regulatory constraints and shifting consumption, with operating performance sliding from nearly 10% of revenue in 2020 to an estimated -2% in 2025.
