The company has installed a new production line for moulding chocolates at its factory in La Penilla de Cayón in the north of the country.
It is one of eight major investments Nestlé has made in its manufacturing operations in Europe this year.
The investment in La Penilla is the second Nestlé has made in Spain this year, reflecting the company’s continued confidence in the Spanish market, the company said.
Thanks to sales of Nescafé Dolce Gusto, Nestlé Spain increased its exports by more than 40% in the first six months of 2011, despite the country’s tough economic conditions.
The new production line at Nestlé’s La Penilla factory is equipped with technology for making new types of chocolate with different shapes and textures.
Bernard Meunier, vice president and CEO of Nestlé Spain, at an opening ceremony for the new production line, said: “This investment reflects the importance Nestlé places on continuous innovation.”
