The Romont facility is not far from Nestlé's Swiss headquarters
Nespresso is adding a factory in Romont, Switzerland to produce capsules specially designed for the United States.
Nespresso, Europe’s largest single-serve coffee brand which is owned by the world’s biggest food-maker Nestle SA, is showing sales growth in the United States, exceeding that of its home continent. Nespresso Chairman Patrice Bula said: “The US expansion is going very well.
“We have the growth we planned to have in Europe.
“Of course you have much more competition, and of course it’s a more mature market.”
Nespresso introduced its eight-ounce-serving VertuoLine coffee machine to the $5 billion North American single-serve market last year to appeal to their preference for bigger cups of coffee. The factory in Romont is said to be the only one producing pods for VertuoLine.
