The company Nestlé announced a significant investment in Mexico to expand production capacity at its plants located in Veracruz, Guanajuato, Querétaro, and the State of Mexico, as well as to develop a new distribution center. These actions aim to consolidate Mexico as a key export center for the company. Steve Presley, CEO of Nestlé for the Americas Zone, highlighted that Mexico is the fourth most important market globally for Nestlé and the second in investment, which reflects confidence in the country and the intention to contribute to its economic and social development.
In addition to investment in infrastructure, Nestlé Mexico will continue to foster the development of the Mexican countryside through programs such as the NESCAFÉ Plan and the Nestlé Cocoa Plan, operational in states such as Chiapas, Tabasco, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Puebla, and Guerrero. The company also maintains its commitment to gender equality, with 45.6% of its workforce made up of women. These initiatives seek to transform agricultural communities through technical assistance, training, and the promotion of regenerative agriculture practices.
Fausto Costa, executive president of Nestlé Mexico, emphasized that the investment projects aim to positively impact local communities, strengthen the value chain, and create shared value for communities and the environment. Furthermore, it is estimated that Nestlé will allocate $2.045 billion to the purchase of products from the Mexican countryside between 2025 and 2027, contributing to the growth of local farmers and strengthening the national agricultural sector.
Nestlé has over 94 years of operation in Mexico and directly employs more than 13,000 people, in addition to half a million workers in its value chain. During a meeting at the National Palace with the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the company announced an investment of $1 billion in productive projects in the country for the 2025-2027 triennium.
