Unilever Looks At Feasibility Of Building New Factory In Colombia

Unilever is considering building a new factory in Colombia. During an interview with local newspaper La Republica, Unilever Andean region chief Ignacio Hojas said a new manufacturing facility could help drive economic growth in the country. According to the executive, the site selection process is still ongoing, with Mexico being eyed as another option for the company.
