Nestle is investing $7.5 million to expand their Trenton facility with plans to ad 30 new jobs. Governor Mike Parson says “Nestlé’s expansion is great news for Trenton and will positively impact the community now and in the future.” The Trenton plant produces out-of-home products, which means items used in restaurant and institutional settings.
For this expansion, Nestlé Professional used the Missouri Works program, a tool that helps companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation.
The company’s Trenton factory, purchased in 2018, began its expansion in 2021. Open hiring for Nestlé Professional’s Trenton factory started in early April, with a job fair scheduled at the Trenton Job Center on May 11-12 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The facility currently produces products using its proprietary cooked-before-canning process, which was invented in Trenton in 1964.
