Having recently opened a confectionery plant in India, Ferrero is now planning to build a new factory in Turkey. Earmarked for the production of Nutella and Kinder chilled products, the planned Turkish plant will cover an area of 146,000 sq m and will become Ferrero’s 19th manufacturing facility when it is completed in 2013. It will provide direct employment for over 200 people.

Ferrero’s new plant in India is located in Baramati, a rural area 100 kilometres from Pune in the Maharashtra region. Covering 28,000 sq m the plant will produce Kinder Joy eggs and Tic Tac mints using locally sourced raw materials and packaging materials, and will provide work for about 1,300 people (80% of them women).
