Nestlé is investing more than CHF 29 million (more than 1 billion roubles) in
new distribution facilities in Russia to meet growing demand for its products in
the country.
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 (CIS) countries.
The investment will have created about 100 new jobs by the time the new
facilities are fully operational in October this year.
Wide range of products
"We are taking an important step to strengthen our supply chain in Russia," said
Maurizio Patarnello, Chief Executive Officer of Nestlé in Russia.
"The distribution centre will deliver a wide range of pet food products from
Nestlé Purina and all dry grocery items sold by Nestlé in Russia, including
Nescafé coffee, Maggi culinary products, Nestlé infant nutrition and Bistroff
cereals.
"We believe in Russia's long-term potential, which is why we continue to invest
in the development of local facilities," he added.
Factory inauguration
Nestlé made the announcement at a ceremony to mark the official opening of an
almost CHF 40 million (more than 1.4 billion roubles) 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.
