Nestlé invests AU$160 million in new Dubai factory
Nestlé is expanding its presence in the Middle East — building a new, AU$160 million manufacturing facility in Dubai. Currently, Nestlé Middle East owns and operates 18 factories and provides direct employment to more than 11,000 people in the region. The new facility, to be built on a 175,000 m2 plot, will provide employment for 400 people. The facility will start producing culinary products at the end of 2015 and coffee products in early 2016.
Nestlé is building the new factory to provide fresher products for consumers in the Middle East and better cater for local tastes. Yves Manghardt, chairman and CEO of Nestlé Middle East, said: “The opening of this new facility in Dubai will strengthen our local manufacturing capabilities, giving us more flexibility to adapt our products to local consumer preferences and use local and regional raw materials.”
