Nestlé opens its eighth factory in Malaysia to produce ready-to-drink products, including Milo and Nescafé.
In the past seven years, Nestlé has invested over RM1.5 billion (US$0.35 billion) in capex towards expanding and scaling up its manufacturing and distribution infrastructure.
“Nestlé products such as Maggie, Nescafe and Milo are brands that all Malaysians love and have grown up with. Malaysians drink six million cups of MILO a day!” says Alois Hofbauer, MD of Nestlé Malaysia.
The Sri Muda Factory will boost the Group’s ready-to-drink capacity by 60%.
The new factory has a build-up of over 40,000 sqm, and resides within the Nestlé Shah Alam Factory Complex, which employs more than 2,000 staff.
A key product of the new Sri Muda Factory is Milo Nutri G, which was launched earlier this year.
It is the world’s first Milo in a polyethylene terephthalate bottle, providing ‘breakfast-on-the-go’ with healthy whole grains.
Nestlé’s manufacturing facilities are 100% Halal, and the Group produces and exports Halal products to more than 50 countries across the globe.
