Nestlé today inaugurated the USD 100 million expansion of its milk processing facilities in Kejayan, Indonesia, which has now become one of Nestlé’s ten largest milk-processing plants worldwide.
In one of the company’s largest investments ever in the country, Nestlé is aiming to double the Kejayan plant’s capacity to produce high quality nutritious milk products to meet the demand of Indonesian consumers. This will significantly increase Nestlé fresh milk intake from local dairy farmers to more than one million litres per day in the next few years from its present intake of approximately 620,000 liters per day. The Kejayan plant has always stood as a symbol of Nestlé’s commitment to Indonesia, particularly to the 30,000 dairy farmers of East Java, Indonesia who have been collaborating with the company for over 30 years. The expansion is expected to have a significant impact on the economic development of the surrounding area. An excellent example of creating shared value -- for society as well as shareholders.
