Vimpex has pledged to maintain production from the start of 2027. Nestlé announced in July that it planned to end production at the plant by year-end, citing declining demand for seasonal chocolate figurines.
The factory currently employs 220 workers, and Vimpex will retain at least one-third of the workforce. Nestlé said it would support employees facing layoffs and award a special bonus to those who remain with the company until the end of the year.
Nestlé Hungária Managing Director Péter Noszek reiterated that the company would continue developing its other factories in Szerencs, northeastern Hungary, and Bük, northwestern Hungary.
