Nestlé to build new pet food plant in Thailand

Nestlé continues to invest in the South East Asia region by building a new Nestlé Purina pet food factory located in the Amata City Industrial Estate, Thailand. The pet food plant, which will create 135 new jobs, will be one of the most advanced factories of its kind in the world, thanks to its state-of-the-art processing technologies. The factory will supply dry pet food to the growing local and overseas markets, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines, as well as Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Nestlé's overall capital investments for Thailand will amount to CHF 56 million (EUR37.1 million) in 2009.
