Nestlé Pours $100 Million into Expanding Packaged Coffee Output in Vietnam

Nestlé Vietnam is set to invest $100 million to enhance the processing capabilities of its Tri An coffee facility in Dong Nai, effectively doubling its production capacity. This move brings Nestlé’s total investment in the location to over $500 million. The augmentation of the Tri An production site aims to meet the rising local demand for premium coffee brands such as Nescafé, Nespresso, Starbucks, and Blue Bottle. Simultaneously, it reinforces Vietnam’s position as a high-value coffee production and supply hub on the global stage.

According to a Nestlé press release, the investment underscores the company’s commitment to long-term engagement in Vietnam. The expansion is expected to enable the factory to cater to domestic consumer needs while tapping into export potential, transforming Vietnam into a prominent supplier of high-value coffee worldwide. The Tri An production site currently ships packaged coffee products to more than 29 countries, emphasizing its global reach.

Jacob Binu, General Director of Nestlé Vietnam, expressed confidence that the project, once operational, would double the factory’s capacity, satisfying local market demands and effectively leveraging export opportunities. Nestlé, which initiated operations in Vietnam in 1993 with a representative office in Ho Chi Minh City, launched the Tri An site in 2013, including a Nescafé Dolce Gusto capsule production line in 2018.

Nestlé, headquartered in Vevey, has invested nearly $830 million in its Vietnamese ventures to date. The company operates four production sites, with three located in Dong Nai, and manages two distribution centers.
