Nestlé has invested CHF 43 million ($43.2 million) in the creation of two new production lines in its Nespresso factory in Romont, Switzerland to satisfy growing demand for the versatile coffee system Vertuo. This will create 33 additional jobs in the next two years. It has also inaugurated an innovation center consisting of a product development center and coffee campus to drive global innovation and coffee expertise.
The product development center is dedicated to developing new Nespresso machines and Grand Cru coffees, including unique coffees from rare origins. In addition, with its small-scale production facility it enables experimentation to provide new and different coffee experiences to consumers. The coffee campus functions as a training center that will continuously raise the level of expertise within the company and among external partners such as chefs. The two units were created to bolster the company’s work in innovating sustainable, quality coffee.
“Innovation has always been at the heart of Nespresso. The new facilities will play a central role in our ability to offer consumers the latest developments in sustainable, high quality coffees and personalized customer service,” said Jean-Marc Duvoisin, CEO of Nespresso.
