Nestlé USA launches a new production facility and distribution center in Glendale, Arizona. The new facility produces creamers for several of Nestlé's go-to brands, including Coffee mate®, natural bliss® and Starbucks®, and has the ability to extend to additional beverages in the future.
Nestlé capitalizes on this investment of over $675 million in the Glendale facility, to satisfy the coffee drinking demands and reach a new scope of business opportunities as better creamers are needed in the market.
"Coffee culture is booming across the U.S. as consumers seek more options for customization and experimentation when it comes to their coffee at home. As the definitive leader in the refrigerated creamers space, we are focused on delivering on those consumer needs to drive the growth of our business and the category. This new facility was built with the flexibility needed to support innovation, and will play a key role in helping us deliver for our customers and consumers now, and in the future," said Daniel Jhung, President of Coffee & Beverage for Nestlé USA. "We are grateful for the warm welcome we have received from the city of Glendale and the state of Arizona, and we look forward to growing alongside this thriving community."
Nestlé USA opens a new, state-of-the-art 630,000-sq-foot beverage factory in Glendale, AZ as coffee culture booms across the U.S.

The new location marks Nestlé USA's 20th food and beverage factory and is the latest in its more than $3 billion investment to enhance its manufacturing capabilities across the U.S. over the past several years. The 630,000-square-foot facility is outfitted with advanced technology and digital tools, enabling the flexibility to shift production based on changing consumer needs, trends and even seasonality. Its opening brings 300 jobs to the Glendale community and places Nestlé closer to its West Coast retail customers.
"The city of Glendale is honored to partner with Nestlé to bring jobs to our community and advance our economy as a hub to propel the food and beverage industry forward," said Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers. "Nestlé's presence will have a lasting and positive impact to pave way for our city's vibrant future."
The Glendale facility adds to Nestlé's factory presence in Arizona, joining both Nestlé Purina in Flagstaff and Nestlé Health Science in Prescott. The company's food and beverage portfolio includes some of the most recognizable brands in the United States, including Coffee mate, DiGiorno and Nestlé Toll House. Nestlé USA also boasts the largest coffee portfolio in the U.S., including Nescafé, Starbucks Coffee at Home and Seattle's Best.
