The new facility will address diverse consumer food demands and focus on new product development for the company’s frozen and chilled food product lines.
Nestlé celebrated the grand opening of its new Nestlé Research & Development Center in Solon, OH last week—marking the completion of the $50 million, two-year project dedicated to advancing product development for the company’s frozen and chilled food businesses.
“Few areas of research are as complex as food research,” says Johannes Baensch, head of global product and technology development, Nestec Ltd. “Nestlé has a long-standing reputation for excellence in research on food and nutrition and this research center is regarded as one of the world’s leading laboratories in food and life sciences. By creating Nestlé R&D Solon, we are transporting a significant piece of our global research expertise to the United States, our largest global market.”
