Nestlé unveils KitKat and Lion coffee range
Nestlé has launched two Nescafé frothy coffee drinks, KitKat White Flavour Latte and Lion Flavour Mocha.
These new products mark a collaboration between some of the UK’s most popular confectionery brands with the Nescafé coffee line.
The range was designed to meet the rising consumer demand for homemade coffee.
Nestlé’s two new products have been backed by a significant investment in the FMCG’s manufacturer’s footprint.
The business recently made a £28m investment at the Dalston factory in Cumbria and has scaled the production capacity, which enables the company to create new products quicker.
Ingrid Hayes, marketing director for Nescafé UK and Ireland, said: “Our Nestlé confectionery-inspired launches have been some of our most successful new product developments in recent years, helping us bring hundreds of thousands of new shoppers into the coffee category.

“With KitKat White Latte and Lion Mocha, we’re building on that strong foundation, and with the investment we’ve made in our UK manufacturing, we’re well placed to keep bringing exciting new products to market. We’re looking forward to seeing consumers enjoy these latest additions.”
The rollout is part of the brand’s plans to drive growth through innovation, strategic partnerships and investment in UK manufacturing.
Ian Pipes, Dalston factory manager, added: “The investment last year has enabled advances in manufacturing processes, demonstrating our commitment to UK manufacturing. It’s improved efficiency and increased output, as well as enhancing recyclability.”
