Nestlé Breaks Ground on 23 Billion Baht Coffee Facility in Samut Prakan
Nestlé has officially begun construction on its new 'House of NESCAFÉ Thailand' factory, a 23 billion baht investment expected to be operational by late 2028.
According to Khaosod Online, Nestlé has held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new production facility, 'House of NESCAFÉ Thailand,' located in the Araya Industrial Estate, Samut Prakan. This 23 billion baht project represents a significant expansion of the company's coffee manufacturing capabilities in Southeast Asia.
The facility is designed to be one of Nestlé’s most advanced global production hubs, integrating AI, robotics, and high-level automation. It will produce various coffee products, including instant coffee, coffee mixes, and ready-to-drink canned coffee. The site will also feature an automated distribution center capable of storing over 100,000 pallets and a Coffee Innovation Center dedicated to developing new formulas and raw material standards.
For residents and the local economy, the project is expected to create over 500 jobs. Furthermore, Nestlé plans to source approximately 4.3 billion baht worth of raw materials annually from within Thailand. While the company has confirmed the start of construction, the facility is currently projected to begin production in the second half of 2028. Travelers and residents should note that this development signals a long-term commitment to the local supply chain, though specific impacts on local coffee prices or consumer availability remain to be seen as the project progresses toward its 2028 launch date.
