MANILA, Philippines – Nestlé SA said it will add two “major” plants in the Philippines in the next ten years to further expand its production capacity in the country.
Nestlé Philippines chairman John Miller was quoted at the groundbreaking ceremony for the P4.3 billion new factory in Tanauan, Batangas to be made over the next two years.
Miller also said that 2010 has been a “good year, with sales likely reach P95 billion.
The new factory in Batangas is expected to be completed in March 2012. It is situated on a 27-hectare site and will produce Coffee-Mate Non-Dairy Creamer and Bear Brand Powdered Milk Drink.
Miller said that with continued growth in demand for the two brands, both of which are market category leaders, the factory will increase much-needed manufacturing capability. The domestic market demand in 2010 for Bear Brand and Coffee-Mate is projected to grow by 19% and 8%, respectively, with Bear Brand exports under the brand name Everyday seen to grow by 38%.
“In 2011, Nestlé will celebrate one hundred years in the Philippines. One hundred years of service to the Filipino consumer is a great source of pride within our company and it is fitting that most of the Tanauan factory’s construction will take place during Nestlé Philippines’ centennial, signifying our continuing commitment to the country. Our investments, in line with our corporate thrust of Creating Shared Value (CSV) for all stakeholders in society, give us the confidence to look forward to the next 100 years of nurturing Filipino families by offering Nutritious, Health and Wellness products,” Mr. Miller said.
The Tanauan factory, which will contribute to the growth of the domestic economy, will initially provide direct employment for a new work force of 170, while creating many other jobs in businesses supplying the facility with raw materials and services.
Apart from the new factory’s construction, Nestlé is also continuing to invest in its four existing facilities in Cagayan de Oro, Cabuyao, Lipa and Pulilan, especially in technology and equipment to enable the company to meet increasing demand for its products.

Posted date: November 23, 2010
MANILA, Philippines—Food and beverage giant Nestlé Philippines may put up two additional facilities on its 27-hectare property in Tanauan, Batangas within the next 10 years.
The two new facilities will complement the P4.3-billion non-dairy coffee creamer manufacturing plant that the company hopes to complete in March 2012.
President Aquino on Tuesday attended the ground-breaking rites for the company’s P4.3-billion plant in Batangas.
Once operational, the facility will produce Coffee Mate Non-Dairy Creamer and Bear Brand Powdered Milk products.
“We look forward to further expansion once we’ve gotten this phase complete,” Nestlé Philippines chair and chief executive John Miller said during Tuesday’s ground-breaking ceremony.
Since Coffee Mate and Bear Brand are both market category leaders, there is now a need to put up a new factory to boost the company’s manufacturing capability, Miller said.
Local demand for Bear Brand this year is seen to increase by 19 percent, while that for Coffee Mate is expected to grow by 18 percent.
Bear Brand exports, marketed under the brand name Everyday, will likewise post an estimated 38 percent growth this year.
“In 2011, Nestlé will celebrate 100 years in the Philippines. One hundred years of service to the Filipino consumer is a great source of pride within our company and it is fitting that most of the Tanauan factory’s construction will take place during Nestlé Philippines’ centennial, signifying our continuing commitment to the country,” Miller said.
“Our investments, in line with our corporate thrust of creating shared value for all stakeholders in society, give us the confidence to look forward to the next 100 years of nurturing Filipino families by offering nutritious health and wellness products,” he added.
Once operational, the Tanauan factory will generate employment for 170 individuals at the onset.
According to a Board of Investments approval issued in September, the new Nestlé plant had the potential to employ as many as 478 people.
Aside from the new Tanauan plant, Nestlé had also committed to invest in its existing factories in Cagayan de Oro City, Cabuyao in Laguna, Lipa in Batangas, and Pulilan in Bulacan.
Most of these investments were for technology and equipment upgrades.
Over the past five years, Nestlé’s investments in its local operations had reached almost P10 billion. Around 80 percent of this amount had been used to improve existing facilities.
The balance of the investments was spent on sales infrastructure, distribution, and information technology systems.
The company last year manufactured close to 500,000 metric tons of coffee, milk, beverages, non-dairy creamer, food, infant nutrition products, ice cream, chilled dairy, and breakfast cereals.
Average annual growth of the company’s Philippine business was placed at P4.6 billion. Sales from last year alone reached P86 billion.
For this year, Miller said, Nestlé’s four existing plants should have a turnover of around P95 billion. Abigail L. Ho, with a report from Bloomberg

Nestle to invest P4.35 B in cassava based plant
By MA.ELISA P. OSORIO
Source: Philippine Star
MANILA, Philippines - The local cassava industry was given a boost after Nestle Philippines announced plans to invest P4.35 billion for a non-dairy coffee creamer project in Batangas, the Board of Investments (BOI) said.
In a statement, the BOI said Nestlé is expected to locally source glucose syrup, one of the main ingredients of the coffee creamer and is usually processed from corn or tapioca coming from cassava roots.
“Growing demand for cassava will bring more opportunities for farmers,” said BOI managing head Cristino L. Panlilio. Multinational firms along with small and medium buyers are ready to buy their production as long as their harvest meet their quality and quantity standards, he pointed out.
The project involves the construction of a greenfield factory on a 270,000-square meter land. Nestle will process glucose syrup and hydrogenated palm kernel oil (HPKO) to produce non-dairy coffee creamer. Commercial operation is slated to begin in June 2012, involving a manpower requirement of 478 personnel.
Based on Department of Agriculture data, demand for cassava production is expected to be within the five million metric ton range this year, rising up to 10 million MT by 2014. Various uses of cassava products are already gaining ground. It is also now used in livestock feeds, starch, noodles, native pastries and as sweeteners and confectioners and food seasoning. It is also an ingredient in some medicinal products and is also added material for glue, plywood, paper, textile and biodegradable products. It is even an essential component for bioethanol power plants.
Cassava starch, popularly known as tapioca flour, has an even wider multitude of uses in various industries. Extracted from the root, it is used in food, medicine, paper, adhesives, mining, textile, mining, biodegradable and other manufacturing industries. In the food sector alone, tapioca flour use is in abundance in a number of ways. It is an excellent alternative for wheat flour in baked products and it is also employed as a thickener for soups, sauces, baby food and even gravies. It is also utilized as a filler to complement the solid contents of ice cream and is a reliable binder for hotdogs, sausages and other processed meat products to minimize dryness while cooking it.
