Balanced package for employees
The confirmed agreement runs for 12 months, from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2026. Central to the arrangement is a structured pay increase in two phases, totalling 4% (2% from 1 November 2025 and a further 2% from 1 July 2026).
In addition to the salary increase, Villeroy & Boch will maintain its existing package of attractive benefits.
