Nestlé USA recently announced it is expanding its operations in South Carolina by investing $150 million in its Gaffney production facility.

Nestlé USA operates 112 offices and facilities in 28 states and opened its Gaffney facility in 1980. The company’s portfolio includes well-known brands such as Stouffer’s, Nestlé Toll House, Coffee-mate and more.

Nestlé USA’s investment in its production facility, located at 2132 Old Georgia Highway in Gaffney, will include a new line for the production of single-serve frozen meals as well as enhanced automation and digital technology.

“This investment further solidifies our dedication to the Gaffney community, where Nestlé has been an integral part for nearly 45 years.  It also reflects our continued commitment to enhance our U.S. manufacturing footprint and in-house capabilities,” said Nestlé USA Gaffney Factory Manager Nicole Caldwell, adding that the enhancements will help meet consumer demand in its frozen meals portfolio.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster commented: "South Carolina's strong economy and talented workforce make our state an ideal place for major companies like Nestlé USA to expand. We congratulate Nestlé USA on this $150 million investment in its Cherokee County facility, which not only reflects the company's confidence in South Carolina but will also help strengthen our communities."
