With Nestlé USA’s new coffee creamer factory in the northwest Valley set to open in the coming months, the food and beverage company has begun hiring for multiple positions as part of its plans to deliver hundreds of jobs to the area.
The $675 million manufacturing plant in Glendale, just north of Luke Air Force Base, will produce creamers for Nestlé’s Coffee-Mate, Starbucks and other brands, and is estimated to create about 350 jobs, including engineers and manufacturing personnel.
Construction of the 630,000-square-foot factory is about 95% complete, according to a company spokesperson.
Nestlé is looking to open the factory later this summer after it completes safety checks and operator training, among other things, the spokesperson said. The company must also conduct product trials and testing to get the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s green light before making products.
Months ahead of the factory’s opening, Nestlé is in the process of filling a variety of positions, based on a list of available jobs in Glendale posted on the company’s career page online .
