| Nesrlé Expands Again in Russia |
Nestlé S.A., Vevey, Switzerland, is to build its 14th production
site in Russia following an investment of CHF60m ($52.7
million). It will be situated at a greenfield site in the
Vyazniki district of the Vladimir region, around 300 kilometers
east of Moscow,
The new factory will produce a range of culinary products under
the Maggi brand, which covers instant soups, bouillon cubes,
ketchups, sauces, seasonings and instant noodles, and will
create 500 new jobs in the district, said Stefan De Loecker, ceo
of Nestlé Russia, who said the company thinks Russia has "huge
long-term potential."
"With the new factory in Vladimir region, Nestlé opens a new
chapter of Maggi business and sets a new standard for technology
in culinary production in Russia," De Loecker said. After the
first phase of construction is completed in the third quarter of
2011, the new plant will produce more than 30,000 tonnes of
Maggi products to meet demand for these products in Russia and
CIS countries.
Once it is completed, Nestlé will transfer its culinary
production out of its current site located in the town of
Zhukovsky, Moscow, to the newly-constructed Vladimir plant. The
Zhukovsky plant will then focus on ice-cream production. The
company also plans to transfer its ice-cream production lines
from the Nestlé Kuban factory in Timashevsk, in the Krasnodar
region, to the factory in Zhukovsky.
