The $15m facility, spanning 75,000 square feet, is the first major technical centre outside of the General Mills worldwide headquarters in Minneapolis.
The complex will focus on developing high-quality products for Chinese consumers, including snacks, convenient meals, yogurt and super premium ice cream. It will house centres for product research and development, food safety, food nutrition research and food sensory evaluation.
“Our new technical centre in Shanghai provides General Mills a tremendous opportunity to accelerate innovation in the Greater China region and better support this rapidly expanding business,” said Ken Powell, chairman and CEO. “By bringing our world-class capabilities to the region, we will increase our agility to act on emerging consumer trends, enable bigger and better innovation pipelines and establish a food safety centre of excellence for our business.”
