Nestlé has marked the beginning of construction work on a new factory that
represents the company's largest-ever investment in Germany.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel joined Nestlé Chief Executive Paul Bulcke at a
ceremony to lay a foundation stone for the company's EUR 220 million Nescafé
Dolce Gusto site in Schwerin in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern today.
The factory is expected to create about 450 new jobs by the time it is fully
operational.
Continuous growth
"In spite of the difficult economic environment, we believe in Europe's
strength," said Mr Bulcke.
"We are convinced that growth is possible. This is why we are not only investing
right now, but continuously, in the European market and in convincing
innovations, modern technology, and highly qualified employees.
"This factory is not only our biggest investment in Germany, but one of our
biggest-ever investments in Europe," he continued.
"It reflects our long-standing commitment to Germany and illustrates our deep
trust in a country where we have had successful operations for 110 years."
Number one
Germany is Nestlé's fourth biggest market worldwide and its number one market in
terms of sales of Nescafé Dolce Gusto.
The factory in Schwerin will be the company's third fully-dedicated Nescafé
Dolce Gusto site, after Tutbury in the United Kingdom and Girona in Spain.
It will produce around two billion capsules per year for the German,
Scandinavian and Eastern European markets.
