“Nestle is rapidly growing its nutritional food business in areas such as health care nutrition, performance nutrition and infant nutrition,” she said.

“Tongala, near Echuca, is ideally located close to food production areas, major national and international transport links, and a ready workforce. With this in mind, Nestle has taken hold of a great opportunity to expand its factory at Tongala. It will become the Australian hub for nutritional food production in the Asia Oceania Africa region.”

The food and beverage conglomerate has had a presence in Australia for more than hundred years. In 1999, Nestle Australia’s head office became headquarters for its Oceania business, which includes operations in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
