Hamburg, Sept 7 - A British company will build a soluble coffee production plant in east Germany at a cost of almost 50 million euros, the state government of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern said on Thursday.
The company was not being named but was London-based, it said, adding that the plant would be built at Upahl about 100 km northeast of Hamburg and would would start production in 2008 and create 120 jobs.
The company had chosen Mecklenburg-Vorpommern after considering other sites in Germany, France, the UK, Spain, Poland and Dubai.
It had been attracted by east German industrial investment incentives and the area's good links to Hamburg, Germany's main coffee industry centre.
