Nestle strengthens factory in Hungary

Nestle is strengthening its production capacity in Europe, investing more than CHF 54 million (Euro45 million - $56 million) to extend its Purina pet food factory in Hungary.

Nestle’s latest investment in the factory is part of its long-term commitment to developing its European operations. Earlier this year the company invested over CHF 265 million (Euro221 million - $277 million) in a new Nescafe Dolce Gusto factory in Germany, while in Switzerland it invested CHF 300 million (Euro250 million - $313 million) in a new Nespresso factory, creating 400 direct jobs.

The new factory extension will be equipped with four new production lines to double its manufacturing capacity of Nestle Purina pouch pet food brands. The new factory extension aims to be operational by March 2013.
