Nestlé announced a US$455 million investment in the State of Mexico aimed at strengthening production capacity, modernizing operations, and expanding its logistics infrastructure in the state.

Of the total amount, US$275 million will be allocated to the modernization and expansion of its factories in Toluca and Cuautitlán, while another US$180 million will be invested in the construction of a new distribution center in Zumpango.

The investment includes increased production capacity, process digitalization, and technological upgrades across the company’s five production centers in the state, as well as the strengthening of its logistics network, which currently includes three distribution centers in Toluca, Cuautitlán, and Tepotzotlán.

During the announcement, Delfina Gómez, Governor of the State of Mexico, said the investment will help consolidate the state as one of the country’s main production hubs for the food industry.

Nestlé strengthens production capacity in the State of Mexico

Nestlé’s plant in Toluca, considered the largest soluble coffee factory in the world, plays a central role in this expansion strategy. From this complex, the company produces coffee, chocolate, and culinary product lines for both the domestic market and export operations.

The company maintains a significant presence in the state, where its five production centers and three distribution centers together generate more than 2,500 direct jobs.

For his part, Fausto Costa, Executive President of Nestlé México, explained that US$275 million forms part of the company’s US$1 billion investment commitment announced under the framework of Plan México.

Logistics expansion supports national distribution

Costa added that the new distribution center in Zumpango will strengthen the company’s logistics capacity to meet growing demand and optimize product distribution to different regions of the country.

According to Laura González, head of the Ministry of Economic Development of the State of Mexico, the food industry is one of the most important manufacturing sectors in the state. She noted that this activity generates more than 54,600 jobs in the state, representing 13.9% of the national total in this sector.

In terms of investment attraction, the state government reported that between September 2023 and January 2026, the State of Mexico captured MXN 3.929 billion in investment from domestic companies and US$1.203 billion from foreign companies.

Through this initiative, Nestlé aims to strengthen its production and logistics operations in one of its most important markets in Latin America, while expanding supply capacity to meet demand in Mexico and reinforce its position in the country’s food industry.
