Nestlé to strengthen ice cream production in China
Nestlé SA, Vevey, is strengthening its ice cream business in China with a more than CHF 15 m investment in its factories in Tianjin and Guangzhou.
The company has opened a new production line in Tianjin to produce its popular Nestlé 8Cubes brand, while increasing its cold storage capacity in Guangzhou. “This investment will enhance our ability to meet increasing consumer demand for our products,” said Ouyang Kai, Vice President of Nestlé Greater China Region’s Ice Cream Business Unit. “It also underlines our confidence in the long-term dynamics of the Chinese market.” Nestlé has two ice cream factories in China, which produce Nestlé brand products as well as the local brand 5Rams.
