Nestlé will invest $1 billion between 2025 and 2027 to expand production capacity across its four plants in Mexico, as announced by Steve Presley, CEO of Nestlé Zone Americas, and Fausto Costa, Executive President of Nestlé Mexico.
"Nestlé Mexico has solidified its position as the fourth most important market for Nestlé worldwide, as well as the second-largest market in terms of investment. This is a testament to our commitment and confidence in this country. Our recent historic investment not only strengthens our sustainable growth strategy but also reaffirms our dedication to contributing to the economic and social development of the region," added Steve Presley, CEO of Nestlé Zone Americas.
The expansion will take place at Nestlé’s plants in Estado de México, Guanajuato, Querétaro, and Veracruz, along with the development of a new distribution center, positioning Nestlé Mexico as an export hub.
Nestlé Mexico remains committed to developing Mexico’s agricultural sector through its responsible sourcing programs, such as the NESCAFÉ Plan and the Nestlé Cocoa Plan, which operate in Chiapas, Tabasco, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Puebla, and Guerrero. These initiatives aim to positively transform agricultural communities, providing training, technical assistance, and promoting regenerative farming practices.
The company estimates that between 2025 and 2027, its agricultural product purchases will amount to approximately $2.045 billion, supporting local farmers and contributing to the country’s socioeconomic growth.
With 94 years in Mexico, Nestlé directly employs over 13,000 people (45.6% women) and supports half a million workers through its value chain.
