Nestlé is spending more than 157 million Swiss francs, about 194 million US dollars, to strengthen Purina pet-food production in Thailand, responding to rising demand in Thailand and across Asia. The investment will upgrade its Rayong manufacturing site, which produces brands like Felix, Friskies, Pro Plan, and Purina One, supplying both domestic and international markets. Remy Ejel, CEO of Nestlé's Asia, Oceania and Africa business, noted that pet food accounts for around 21 percent of group sales and is one of its most dynamic segments. The expansion is part of a broader push that includes a 520-million-franc plant in Italy and a 563-million-franc Nescafé factory in Thailand, reflecting Nestlé's confidence in the region's long-term potential.
Nestle S.A.Nestlé invests over 157 million Swiss francs to expand its Rayong Purina pet-food plant, a capex commitment reflecting confidence in the segment.
