The company is extending its distribution centre at its manufacturing site in Vorsino in the region of Kaluga to better serve consumers across Russia and other Commonwealth of Independent States countries.
The investment will have created about 100 new jobs by the time the new facilities are fully operational in October this year.
Nestlé made the announcement at a ceremony to mark the official opening of an extension to its Purina PetCare factory on the Vorsino site this week.
The company’s investment in the factory has enabled it to increase total production of well-known pet foods such as Friskies, Felix and Pro Plan by almost three quarters.
Nestlé Purina is one of the market leaders in the Russian pet food industry, which although relatively new is growing rapidly.
