Nestlé Waters announces the elimination "by the end of the year" of 171 positions at its site in the Vosges, or a quarter of the 721 jobs. The project, announced Tuesday to the social partners, "is at the same time industrial, organizational and social", says a spokeswoman for the group.

The reorganization project "is essentially motivated by the decision taken in 2022 to stop the marketing of Vittel in Germany," she adds. At the beginning of May, due to the vagaries of the weather, Nestlé Waters announced the suspension sine die of two of the six boreholes dedicated to the Hépar water.
