Massy to become Nestlé’s main distributor

Nestlé Trinidad and To­ba­go will change its dis­tri­b­u­tion mod­el in Jan­u­ary 2027, with Massy Dis­tri­b­u­tion Di­vi­sion be­com­ing the com­pa­ny’s main dis­trib­u­tor lo­cal­ly.

Nestlé’s head of com­mu­ni­ca­tions, Siti Jones-Gor­don, told Guardian Me­dia the move is sep­a­rate from the pre­vi­ous­ly an­nounced sale of Nestlé’s fac­to­ry.

She stressed that the fac­to­ry sale has “noth­ing to do” with the new dis­tri­b­u­tion arrange­ment and con­firmed that Nestlé’s pri­ma­ry dis­trib­u­tors will con­tin­ue op­er­at­ing. Nestlé will al­so con­tin­ue dis­trib­ut­ing a sig­nif­i­cant por­tion of its port­fo­lio across T&T. Jones-Gor­don con­firmed there are em­ploy­ment im­pli­ca­tions from the change in dis­tri­b­u­tion and that Nestlé is con­sult­ing with the Oil­fields Work­ers’ Trade Union (OW­TU), which rep­re­sents work­ers at the com­pa­ny’s Val­sayn fac­to­ry and of­fices.
