Europe 1
This is a shot of unprecedented mouth to an agribusiness giant. Richard Girardot, the boss of the French subsidiary of Nestle, moved violently taken at retail, in an interview with Le Figaro on Tuesday. He denounces the methods of large surfaces to obtain lower prices.
Distributors increasingly powerful . “We denounce a situation of abnormal competition: retailers pass on higher raw material for their own-brand products, whose prices rose 0.4% last year, and at the same time, they require major brands tariff reductions, some selling them products at a loss, “denounces the CEO.
The situation is even more skewed since the signs have merged their purchasing power as U system with Auchan and Casino with Intermarché. Faced with ever more powerful machines, losing a contract is like losing one stroke a presence in hundreds of store shelves. And according to the boss of Nestlé, the retail giants do not deprive themselves to raise the specter of a breach of contract.
Pressing “worthy of custody.” To get these price declines, Richard Girardot also talks of pressure “worthy of custody” made on suppliers, which passes through appointments isolated, late, or distributors play bullying. “If officers of the Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF), or journalists, had surrendered Saturday, February 28 in the evening (legal closing date of negotiations) in the parking lot the purchasing power distributors, in the suburbs of Paris, they would have realized that something was wrong. What about a situation where the business is found at 23 hours waiting in a pen, subjected to a dignified pressure a custody? “explains CEO of Nestlé.
They are trying” to destabilize you. “ Brigitte manufacturer of wafers in Poitou, approached by Europe 1, does not say other things. “They arrive in a white box with a table and three chairs. The caller asks for your numbers, trying to throw you remembering everything that happened negative in your business. And you quickly announced that one of your competitors has had better results, he did better tests for tasting, it is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. And you’re the big nase the corner. Some end up giving them their shirts and leave, “she said.
The CEO of Nestlé puts pressure on the competition authority, explaining that this pressure kills competition, precisely, suppliers are forced to fold. Large retail chains, as Europe has tried to call one, do for the time no comment on the charges
