Nestlé food and drink company revealed its expansion plans for its production factory in Wisconsin. The company said it would allot new investment worth $43 million for the project.
Nestlé further shared that there is a growing demand for ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages today and as it would like to meet this demand, expanding its plant to increase its manufacturing capacity is just the right move.
In a report, it was mentioned that the company’s latest funding would allow it to add two new production lines at its factory in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. This facility also makes medical and nutritional products, including tube feeding formulas, so various food items are being produced here.
In particular, Nestlé is set to raise the production capacity of its Boost and Carnation breakfast essentials which are RTD products. Once the new lines are completed, the company is expecting to create at least 60 new jobs.
This is nestlé’a second investment in its Wisconsin plant in recent years. It was only in 2020 that it spent $50 million to boost the facility’s production. At that time, the company also stopped the use of and removed them from its beverage packaging at the site.
“With this investment, Nestlé Health Science will expand and enhance our manufacturing facilities to better meet the needs of patients and consumers,” Nestlé Health Science U.S. vice president of manufacturing, Gaëtan Sion, said in the announcement. “Also, as a member of the Eau Claire community since 1987, we’re proud to help strengthen the local economy by generating more job opportunities that offer competitive pay and benefits.”
Secretary and CEO of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, Missy Hughes, also commented regarding Nestle’s plans, “Nestlé Health Science’s additional investment in Wisconsin is great news for the Eau Claire community and our state. Their commitment to innovation, sustainability, and economic wellbeing makes them a leader not only in Wisconsin but in the global marketplace, and we welcome their expansion in our state.”
