Nestle Opens Innovation Campus

With an eye toward serving those consumers who eat out rather than at home, Nestle Professional, the foodservice division of the world's leading nutrition, health and wellness company, opened a Customer Innovation Campus aimed at providing foodservice operators with creative and insightful solutions on how to develop appetizing menus that cater to local tastes, increase customer traffic and make their operations more competitive. The establishment of the Customer Innovation Campus underlines the importance that Nestle attributes both to R&D and to the out-of-home business, one of its four strategic growth areas.

"This will be no ordinary culinary center, but rather a think tank for driving the future of foodservice nutrition and consumer trends," says Marc Caira, global business executive, Nestle Professional. "Together with our customers we will create synergies to foster the development of new food and beverage solutions."
