In 2025, Nestlé announced a big step for the city's future: R$450 million in investments in the expansion and modernization of the only factory in the Americas and one of five in the world to produce the brand's capsules.

With production of up to 1 billion capsules per year, the Montes Claros factory is already a global reference in innovation, launching a new flavor on average every 45 days and supplying Brazil and Latin American countries. The expansion – which includes the installation of new capsule lines, process automation and technological modernization – is in line with the consistent growth of the capsule coffee segment in Brazil, which has registered double-digit rates in recent years.

With the work, the plant will gain an additional 7,000 m² and create around 1,000 direct and indirect jobs by 2028. The first phase, scheduled to come into operation in the second half of 2026, reinforces the importance of the Minas Gerais factory as an innovation center for Nestlé's global coffee portfolio.

More than expanding production, the Montes Claros factory is consolidating itself as a case of sustainability in the industrial sector. It was the first Nestlé unit in the world to achieve neutral environmental impact in three dimensions: water, waste and carbon.

More than a robust investment, the expansion of Montes Claros reaffirms Nestlé's strategy of combining growth, innovation and sustainability. For the facilities and operations sector, the project is a reminder that good industrial practices can be adapted to offices, hospitals and shopping centers: rational use of water, carbon neutrality and integrated automation are paths that increase efficiency and relevance in the market.
