Swiss food giant Nestlé has revealed plans to open a new production facility in Malaysia in order to meet growing domestic demand for dairy and other ready-to-drink products.
The site will manufacture Nestlé low-fat milk as well as other ready-to-drink products, such as Milo and Nescafé. The company is investing CHF47m (US$48.7m) to construct the new facility, which will be located in the city of Shah Alam. The move will create 160 jobs when the factory is fully operational in 2014, the company said.
