Nestlé is investing £28 million in its Dalston factory in Cumbria, home of Nescafé Frothy Coffee, Starbucks and more, reinforcing its commitment to cutting-edge manufacturing, sustainable operations and long-term growth.
The major upgrade includes the construction of a state-of-the-art mixing plant and the installation of two advanced high-tech packing lines, capable of producing up to 60,000 frothy coffee sachets per hour.
In addition, Nestlé is investing £10.7m in two replacement packing lines. One of the new lines can produce an impressive 60,000 sachets per hour using cutting-edge technology that ensures smoother and more efficient movement of items.
Richard Watson, CEO of Nestlé UK & Ireland, said: “We’re very proud of our British manufacturing and this investment reflects the great work being done by our teams to position the UK as a market with significant manufacturing expertise and capability.
“The Dalston investment is a prime example of how we’re investing in the future of the British food and drink industry - modernising our operations and supporting local jobs, driving growth opportunities and being more sustainable.”
Nestlé’s Dalston has been producing Nescafé Frothy Coffee products since 1962. Recognised as a Centre of Excellence for Frothy Coffee for Nestlé globally, the factory manufactures popular products, such as Nescafé Cappuccino and Latte, Coffee Mate, as well as Starbucks’ range of lattes.
