The multinational food and beverage company, Nestl\u00e9, on Thursday announced an additional investment of $60 million in Pakistan during a roundtable discussion on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.
\nFederal Minister for Finance and Revenue, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb chaired the high-level business roundtable, bringing together Chief Executive Officers and senior leaders of leading global corporations to discuss Pakistan\u2019s reform trajectory, investment climate, and long-term growth potential.
\nThe announcement of additional investment was made by Remy Ejel, Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer for Asia, Oceania, and Africa at Nestl\u00e9, according to press release issued by finance ministry.
\nH said, that Nestl\u00e9 would undertake a robust expansion of its operations in the country, reaffirming its long-term commitment to Pakistan.
\nThe roundtable formed part of the government of Pakistan\u2019s ongoing engagement with multinational investors to promote policy predictability, economic formalization, and sustainable, export-oriented growth, the press release added.
\nEjel further announced that Nestl\u00e9 intends to use Pakistan as a regional manufacturing and export hub, exporting products to 26 countries from Pakistan. Expressing strong confidence in Pakistan\u2019s economic outlook, Ejel foresaw robust growth in Nestl\u00e9\u2019s business in Pakistan in the coming years.<\/p>\n
The announcement builds on Nestl\u00e9\u2019s recent engagement with the Finance Minister in Islamabad, where the company had outlined its strategy centered on localization, advanced manufacturing, sustainability, and agricultural transformation.
\n Nestl\u00e9 has made significant progress in technology-driven manufacturing, with highly automated facilities, expanded use of renewable energy, improved packaging solutions, and digitalized supply chains, strengthening efficiency while reducing environmental impact.
\nEjel highlighted Nestl\u00e9\u2019s global scale as one of the world\u2019s leading food, beverage, nutrition, and health companies, with operations in over 180 countries, a workforce exceeding 277,000 employees, and global revenues of approximately USD 114.25 billion (2025).
\nHe noted that Pakistan\u2019s demographic profile, growing nutrition needs, and underpenetrated value-added food segments closely mirror successful growth trajectories seen in Southeast Asia.
\nWelcoming Nestl\u00e9\u2019s investment announcement, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb described it as a strong vote of confidence in Pakistan\u2019s economic reforms and formalization drive.
\nHe reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment to strengthening the tax ecosystem, ensuring policy consistency, and facilitating responsible long-term investment through continued engagement with the private sector, including via the Tax Policy Office established within the Finance Division.
\nPakistan offers compelling opportunities in affordable nutrition, climate-resilient dairy, localized sourcing, and export-oriented manufacturing, he said and reiterated the government\u2019s resolve to position Pakistan as a competitive base for regional production and global value chains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
