has brought its manufacturing operations in Sheikhupura and Khanewal to global standards, with both facilities now fully automated and integrated with Nestl\u00e9\u2019s worldwide systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This modernisation positions Pakistan\u2019s operations on par with the company\u2019s leading global plants, said the delegation from Nestl\u00e9 Pakistan during a meeting with Federal Minister for Finance Muhammad Aurangzeb on Monday, read a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The delegation from Nestl\u00e9 Pakistan, led by Chief Executive Officer Jason Avancena, accompanied by Chief Financial Officer Maqsood Ahmad Anjum and Head of Corporate Affairs &amp; Sustainability Sheikh Waqar Ahmad, briefed the finance minister on the company\u2019s longstanding commitment to Pakistan and its plans for future expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"299\" height=\"168\" src=\"https:\/\/gsrra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-29.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26744\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEO highlighted Nestl\u00e9 Pakistan\u2019s significant progress in technology-driven manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brecorder.com\/news\/40396312#nestl%C3%A9-pakistan-delivers-strong-growth-in-q3-cy2025\"

Pakistan delivers strong growth in Q3 CY2025<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Avancena elaborated on ongoing and upcoming investments in sustainability, agricultural services transformation, enhanced manufacturing capacity, and the deployment of advanced technologies across the value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explained that Nestl\u00e9 is implementing solar and biomass energy systems, digital dashboards, environmentally improved packaging, and supply-chain automation, enabling reductions in operational costs and greenhouse-gas emissions while strengthening the company\u2019s long-term competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the meeting, Aurangzeb reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment to strengthening Pakistan\u2019s formal economy and encouraging responsible, long-term investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emphasising the government\u2019s resolve to clamp down on the informal sector, the finance minister noted that improved compliance, transparency, and a strengthened tax ecosystem are central to Pakistan\u2019s economic recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The finance minister highlighted the establishment of the Tax Policy Office within the Finance Division as a major structural reform that will allow continuous, year-round engagement with the private sector, enabling policy refinement and effective implementation ahead of the next budget cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Nestl\u00e9\u2019s delegation highlighted that the company\u2019s localisation efforts have materially strengthened its resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They noted that Nestl\u00e9 Pakistan has reduced its import volumes by nearly half over the past three years, from around $150 million to approximately $76\u201380 million, thereby minimising exposure to foreign-exchange pressures and deepening integration with Pakistan\u2019s agricultural and manufacturing base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The finance minister commended these localisation efforts and underscored the government\u2019s intention to facilitate greater formalisation and enhanced tax equity across the food and beverages sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that the gains observed in tobacco, where formal-sector volumes have increased as enforcement tightened, represent a model that can be replicated across other industries, such as packaged juices, where informal players have rapidly expanded market share by operating outside the tax net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minister welcomed Nestl\u00e9 Pakistan\u2019s readiness to work with the Tax Policy Office set up in the Finance Division on potential reforms to improve tax recovery, rationalise sector-specific anomalies, and support domestic manufacturing while maintaining public-interest objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The delegation also discussed export performance, including the company\u2019s presence in markets such as the United States, Canada, the Gulf, and the United Kingdom, and shared insights into challenges related to regional trade, particularly the Afghanistan corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The finance minister advised exploring logistics partnerships to expand access to Central Asian markets and reiterated the governmentis commitment to enabling export-oriented industry growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the context of Nestl\u00e9\u2019s expanded investments over the next several years, targeted toward sustainability, agricultural transformation, automation, and strengthening production capabilities in infant and dairy nutrition, the delegation conveyed Nestl\u00e9\u2019s desire to announce these plans on the global stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring to the upcoming World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos, the delegation shared that Nestl\u00e9\u2019s global leadership, including the Executive Vice President for Zone Asia, Oceania and Africa, Remy Ejel, intends to attend the event and looks forward to a meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The finance minister welcomed the proposal, confirming that the prime minister\u2019s participation at Davos had been communicated to WEF management and assuring the delegation that the government would support the facilitation of this meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stated that discussions between Nestl\u00e9 Pakistan and the Tax Policy Office will remain ongoing, ensuring timely alignment on policy options that can strengthen the domestic industry, support sustainability objectives, and enhance Pakistan\u2019s position in regional and global markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reference Link:- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brecorder.com\/news\/40396312\"
