Nissan is making significant changes to its European regional office, with 87 job cuts confirmed in an agreement with the CFDT union on October 16. This decision is part of CEO Ivan Espinosa's global restructuring plan, aiming to streamline operations and boost profitability. The cuts will primarily affect marketing and sales roles, with 64 positions already filled when the agreement was reached. Nissan is also creating 34 new roles and opening additional vacancies to support internal redeployment, meaning the final number of redundancies will be lower. The company employs around 570 people at its Montigny-le-Bretonneux office, which oversees operations across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, and Oceania. Nissan's European sales have slipped 8% over the first financial half, and the company is working to make operations faster and more agile. The changes include simplifying roles and removing management layers, and employees opting for internal transfers may receive a 5,000 euro gross bonus. Despite the cuts, Nissan plans to maintain the Montigny office and continue investing in employee development.
