KUALA LUMPUR: Nestle S.A, through Nestlé (Malaysia) Bhd, has launched its pioneering plant-based meal solutions manufacturing facility in Shah Alam, Selangor, the group's first in Asean and one of only two in Asia.
Nestle Malaysia invested RM150 million in the facility, which has been the main contributor to the RM280 million capital expenditure in 2020, the company's highest in the last six years.
The new facility in Shah Alam will cater to the rising demand for plant-based foods and will supply local demand as well as exports.
Nestle vice president and chief executive officer for Asia, Oceania and sub-Saharan Africa Chris Johnson said it had chosen Malaysia, and Selangor particularly, for the new manufacturing hub as it had the right infrastructure, trade links and access to talent and capabilities.
