Nestle Opens New UHT (Ultra High Temperature) Milk Facility

First of all, congrats to Nestlé!

Earlier this week they opened a new Ultra High Temperature (UHT) in Sri Lanka (their third in the country) that's slated to produce ready-to-drink brands such as Milo and Nespray, both popular products for the company in the region.

Of the new facility Alois Hofbauer, Managing Director for Nestlé Lanka said,

Our latest investment will have a ripple effect across the local community by helping our company make a positive impact on thousands of suppliers and farmers in the country.

"The new manufacturing capabilities also mean we can produce new products for our Sri Lankan consumers.

What's perhaps most interesting is that even before the facility Nestlé was already huge in the Sri Lanka, a country a lot of food manufacturers take for granted. Turns out, Nestlé is Sri Lanka's single largest private sector collector of fresh milk, procuring fresh milk from over 15,000 local dairy farmers every day. [Note: Emphasis is mine.]

Now that's a lot of milk!

Speaking of which, while we ourselves don't carry the two Nestlé products, we do carry a complete line of dairy products for manufacturers and restaurants alike.
