More than 200 new jobs have been created with the opening of the factory, which is located in Dong Nai province and manufactures products for local consumption and export.
Nestlé’s investment in Vietnam supports its activities around the Nescafé Plan, the company’s global initiative to optimise its coffee supply chain that includes measures such as increasing direct purchasing from farmers and providing them with free technical assistance.
“We are investing in the future of coffee production and consumption in Vietnam and the region,” said Wayne England, Nestlé Indochina chairman and CEO, at a ceremony to inaugurate the factory in Dong Nai. “By opening this factory in Vietnam, we will be closer to our consumers and better able to adapt our products to their needs and preferences.
“It demonstrates our long-term commitment to Vietnam and our continued confidence in the region.”
