Nestle,
one of the world's largest food producers, will invest about UAH 100 million in
development in Ukraine in 2015.
"We plan in 2015 to spend a little more than UAH 100
million on the installation of a production line at Torchyn factory [and we
will] expand our workshops at Svitoch. We've also installed new equipment for
air conditioning at the distribution center in Smolyhiv," Nestle Director
for Ukraine and Moldova Ansgar Bornemann said in an interview with
Interfax-Ukraine.
According to him, in 2014 Nestle's total sales in
Ukraine amounted to about UAH 5.7 billion.
"For us sales are stable in general, which is the
result of the fantastic work of all our employees. It is a great challenge for
my company, because we see there is some downturn in some categories. We are
working hard on the ways to maintain our market share. We are even growing in
some categories," he said.
According to Bornemann, the company felt a significant
drop in the confectionery segment.
He added that the Nestle confectionery products and
canned vegetables in Ukraine were affected by Russian sanctions.
