Gov. Mitch Daniels today joined Nestle SA executives and state and local economic development leaders to officially open Nestle's Factory and Beverage Distribution Center in Anderson.
Nestle, in the process of hiring 300 workers for the $359 million facility, announced in August that it would hire 135 more workers and invest $200 million more to expand the site's capacity by 2011.

The new Anderson location is one of 25 manufacturing operations and six distribution centers the company operates in the United States. It's a welcome addition to a city hard-hit by years of automotive industry cutbacks.
"In a span of five years, Nestlé will have invested $529 million in this facility, its largest capital investment in the United States," said Nestlé USA Chairman and CEO Brad Alford in a statement. This is the company's fourth investment in Indiana in the past two years, which includes a $30 million water bottling operation in Greenwood for Nestle Pure Life.
"Today, I am honored to welcome global representatives of Nestlé to Anderson," said Mayor Kris Ockomon in a statement. "Already, Nestlé has touched the lives of our citizens through capital investment, employment and charitable giving. We know that the long term relationship between Nestlé and Anderson is just beginning and we look forward to all the good things the future holds."
