On 23 June 2014, the foundation stone was laid for Nivea India’s newly set up manufacturing facility at Sanand, near Ahmedabad.
The company is setting up this facility with an investment of Rs 1,000 crore. Apart from setting up this new manufacturing unit, the company will also set up its R&D centre at Sanand, which will focus on innovations for Indian consumers as well as other markets.
About 70,000 sq mtr of land has been allotted by the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) for setting up this facility and R&D centre at Sanand.
The project is expected to be operational by 31 March, 2015. Initially, the facility will have a production capacity of more than 50 million units of skin and personal care products.
The new unit will roll out current product categories such as Nivea Body Care, Nivea Men, Nivea Creams, and Nivea Face Wash.
