About

We are Nestlé, the Good food, Good life company. We believe in the power of food to enhance lives. Good food nourishes and delights the senses. It helps pets to thrive, children to grow healthily and parents to age gracefully. It helps all of us to live life to the fullest. Good food also respects our planet and protects resources for future generations.

But times are changing fast. And we know that what’s good today won’t be good enough tomorrow. Consider the challenge of satisfying the needs of 10 billion people by 2050 in a responsible and sustainable way. This will demand innovation and change. At Nestlé, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with food, drink and nutritional health solutions. That way, we can enhance quality of life and contribute to a healthier future for all.

Today, our business has around 270,000 employees, more than 2,000 brands and a presence in 188 countries.

Nestlé Tutbury Factory is one of the largest coffee manufacturers in the world, producing some of the nation’s favourite brands such as Nescafé Original, Nescafé Gold Blend and Nescafé Dolce Gusto. Coffee has been in production on this site for more than 50 years, although it dates back to 1901 when it began as a condensed milk factory.

Dolce Gusto capsule technology began production at Tutbury in 2006 after a £110 million investment and the site now makes more than 1 billion capsules per year!

In 2014, the factory grew further with a state-of-the-art Freeze Dry coffee factory being built on site after a £325 million investment, bringing massive expansion to production capacity and hundreds of jobs to the area. Today, Tutbury Factory has almost 700 staff on site and produces more than 30,000 tons of coffee per year!
