Nestlé Health Science has announced the inauguration of its new Nestlé Product Technology Center in Bridgewater, N.J. The event marks the completion of a three-year, $70 million investment to establish a global research and development hub that will advance the company’s offerings in further elevating the power of nutrition to make a positive difference in people’s lives.
“The opening of the Nestlé Product Technology Center comes at an exciting time, when the potential for science-based nutritional solutions is accelerating,” said Thomas Hauser, senior vice president, head of Global Product & Technology Development for Nestlé. “With this advanced center leading the way, we’re able to leverage Nestlé’s global R&D efforts here in New Jersey to rapidly translate science into innovation for consumers, patients, and healthcare professionals. We’re also advantaged by the fact that the facility is co-located with the U.S. headquarters of Nestlé Health Science, allowing for deep integration between the R&D and commercial sides of the business in our largest market.”
Home to more than 170 employees, the Bridgewater facility is equipped with advanced capabilities across the R&D lifecycle—from ideation and rapid prototyping to sensory science, production, and commercialization. The Nestlé Product Technology Center also plays a critical role in advancing the company’s efforts to reduce packaging and produce lighter weight products, part of Nestlé’s global ambition to make 100% of its packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025.
