Nestlé has invested approximately CHF 87 million (approximately $88.6 million) in a new beverages factory and noodle line in Malaysia. Both facilities are located in Nestlé’s largest manufacturing site in the country, in the city of Shah Alam, which employs more than 2,000 Nestlé factory staff.
The new factory, which cost CHF 66 million (approximately $67 million), is Nestlé’s eighth in Malaysia. It will produce ready-to-drink products, including Milo, Nescafé, and Nestlé Omega Plus, for which Nestlé is seeing rising demand.
Building on Maggi noodle’s growing popularity in the country, where 1.7 million single packs of the product are sold every day, Nestlé has also invested around $21 million in a new high-capacity noodle line to produce Maggi Curry Noodles, a favorite among Malaysian consumers.
In the past two years, Nestlé has invested more than $139 million as part of its long-term growth strategy in Malaysia.
