NESTLÉ CREMORA is currently manufactured in South Africa across two facilities located in South Africa (Babelegi and Potchefstroom) as well as Harare, Zimbabwe
Nestlé East & Southern Africa Region (ESAR) reaffirms its long-term commitment to the region’s economic development by evolving its business model to stay competitive and sustainable. As part of this strategy, Nestlé’s presence in the region has made the pivotal decision to divest its NESTLÉ CREMORA business, a beloved creamer brand that has been a staple in South African households for over 77 years, widely cherished by coffee and tea drinkers.
NESTLÉ CREMORA is currently manufactured in South Africa across two facilities located in South Africa (Babelegi and Potchefstroom) as well as Harare, Zimbabwe. Its distribution spans across the East and Southern Africa Region, excluding countries in the East and Horn of Africa. This decision will impact operations in Harare, where production of CREMORA will cease, and focus will shift to brands such as NESTLÉ EVERYDAY and NESTLÉ CEREVITA. This strategic realignment will ensure the Harare facility remains an integral part of Nestlé’s efforts to drive future investments and sustainable development within Zimbabwe.
Following a meticulous evaluation process, Nestlé has decided to sell the NESTLÉ CREMORA business to Lactalis South Africa (SA) pending regulatory approval. Lactalis is a 90-year multinational food company. In South Africa, the company is home to quality and trusted brands such as Président, Parmalat, Melrose, Steri Stumpie and Bonnita; with operations in the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu Natal.
