Nestlé celebrates 70 years of making coffee in Qld
As the world celebrates International Coffee Day on 1 October, Nestlé is also celebrating Nescafé being made at its Gympie factory in Queensland for 70 years.
Operating since 1953, the Gympie factory now produces more than 20 million cups of coffee daily — or 230 cups per second. The team of expert coffee tasters test more than 100 cups of Nescafé each day to make sure the blend is right every time.
The team is also focusing on improving the site’s environmental performance, from using 100% responsibly sourced beans, using renewable sources for over 80% of the factory’s energy needs, sending zero waste to landfill and a new $2m project which will save 45 million litres of water annually.
Over the past five years, more than $20m has been invested in the factory, which aims to improve its environmental performance and reach net zero by 2050.
