Nestlé has announced it will restructure its business in Sub-Saharan Africa and close a regional head office in Kenya as it aims to ensure it continues on a healthy growth path in the continent.
The company said that as of 1 August 2018, the Central West Africa Region (CWAR) will become a key market. Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo, currently part of the Equatorial Africa Region (EAR), will join CWAR.
Nestlé will also expand the Southern African Region (ZAR) to include the Horn of Africa, Southern, Eastern and Island clusters of EAR. The new, enlarged region, headquartered in Johannesburg, will be renamed the Eastern and Southern African Region (ESAR).
