New capex high for Nestle to meet export demand


AmInvestment Bank said demand for Maggi products such as instant noodles has already begun to overtake supply, bolstered by strong export sales.

PETALING JAYA: Nestle (M) Bhd’s capital expenditure (capex) of RM300mil for 2021 is set to be a new high for the food and beverage (F&B) company, as it plans to ramp up its production capabilities to meet export demand.

A significant amount of that capex has been earmarked to increase capacity of its Maggi plant, TA Securities said in a report, adding that the F&B giant will also be looking to improve automation and digitalisation across its manufacturing facilities.
