Nestlé Invests 23 Billion Baht to Build Smart Factory in Thailand, Aiming to Become ASEAN Hub
Nestlé, the world's leading food and beverage manufacturer, has announced an investment of over 23 billion baht to build a new Nescafé coffee production plant in Samut Prakan province. This factory will utilize the most advanced technology to elevate Thailand into a key production and export hub within the ASEAN region.
The highlight of this new facility is its status as a "smart factory," incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotic systems throughout the entire production process. The implementation of these technologies will not only enhance operational efficiency but also help control product quality to meet international standards and reduce energy consumption during production.
Beyond technological development, this investment will also have a positive impact on the Thai economy, particularly for Thai farmers. Nestlé has a policy to support the purchase of coffee beans from local farmers, which will help create stable and sustainable income for communities while also assisting in the development of coffee cultivation skills to achieve higher quality.
The decision to expand the production base reflects the confidence of foreign investors in Thailand's potential. Building a smart factory will not only create new jobs for Thai people but also prepare Thailand to become a global leader in the food industry in the future.
