The company temporarily stopped production of dairy products at the plant last week after a voluntary inspection revealed what Nestle spokeswoman Pam Krebs called “maintenance issues,” the newspaper said.
Production of Nesquick stopped last Tuesday at midnight, but resumed on Thursday after a follow-up inspection showed problems had been resolved.
The company continued to produce Coffee-mate, Nestle’s best-selling product, and employment was not affected.
Switzerland-based Nestle SA, the world’s largest food company, employs about 300 people at the $359 million, 880,000-square-foot Anderson plant. It recently announced plans to expand the facility over the next two years and hire 200 additional workers.
High demand for Coffee-mate and Nesquik are driving Nestle’s growth. U.S. sales of Coffee-mate are expected to reach $1 billion this year.
Nestle had sales of $28 billion in the United States last year and $100 billion globally. The company employs more than 35,000 people in 81 U.S. factories.
