NESTLÉ TO INJECT 335 MILLION EUROS INTO ITS NEW NESCAFÉ FACTORY IN MEXICO

The multinational Nestlé will invest 340 million dollars to build a factory in the Mexican state of Veracruz. The new project will generate 1,200 new direct jobs and will make Mexico the main producer of the brand’s coffee worldwide.

The new plant, which is well equipped to reduce water and energy consumption, has wastewater treatment systems that ensure 100% water recirculation, zero discharge to landfill and zero waste. The plant also uses 100% green energy through the use of a biomass boiler that generates energy from the organic waste within the primary coffee process.

“This coffee factory is one of the most technologically advanced in the world and the most modern and sustainable coffee plant in our company,” said Fausto Costa, CEO of Nestlé Mexico, during the inauguration ceremony. At Nestlé, sustainability is a fundamental pillar and we are committed to actions that have a positive impact on our planet,” Costa added.

The brand is committed to supporting the sustainable production and supply of green coffee, strengthening the productive capacity of small producers and promoting the social economic development of their families through Nescafé. This chain supplies 80,000 Mexican coffee plantations and Nestlé has committed to guarantee that, by 2025, 100% of the coffee it purchases will be responsibly sourced.
