Nestle Opens New Global R&D Centre In Santiago de Chile
For the development of new line of biscuits and cereal-bases snacks
Nestle, a Swizerland-based dairy company, has opened a global R&D Centre for biscuits and cereal-based snacks, in Santiago de Chile. The company said that the new R&D Centre will lead its global research and development in biscuits and cereal-based snacks, focusing both on new products and renovation of existing ones.
According to the company, R&D Santiago will bring together specialists from various fields, including nutrition, engineering, product development and quality control for the development of new technologies that will help to further reduce sugar and fat levels to make the biscuits lighter.
The company said that R&D Santiago will also develop biscuits with bioactive ingredients to improve digestive health as well as fortified products to address local micronutrient deficiencies.
The centre will work closely with other Nestle R&D facilities around the world and will engage in local governmental initiatives and partnerships with universities such as the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile and the Universidad de Chile. Nestle’s global R&D network comprises 28 Research, Development and Technology Centres.
In Chile, the company as of now has seven production facilities in different parts of the country. The new centre in Santiago will benefit from synergies between R&D and biscuit manufacturing by being based at the company’s industrial site in Maipu.
Paul Bulcke, CEO of Nestle, said: The research at this centre will provide exciting opportunities for innovation in a very important product category. It will allow us to offer consumers in Latin America and beyond the choice of tasty, healthy, more nutritious biscuits.
