Nestlé to build infant-formula factory in Brazil
Nestlé will invest roughly SFr94m to build an infant-formula factory in Ituiutaba, Minas Gerais, with operations due to start in the second quarter of 2028 and about 100 jobs expected. The site will be the company’s second infant-nutrition factory in Brazil and will supply the domestic market and unspecified export markets. A wider SFr310m plan includes upgrades at the Araçatuba hub in São Paulo and a targeted 15% increase in Brazilian whey production by 2029. The announcement comes as Nestlé faces regulatory scrutiny after Anvisa recalled ten Alfamino batches over iodine and selenium levels.
