The centre, which employs about 100 experts from 17 countries specialised in fields including mechanical engineering, analytical chemistry, microbiology and sensory science, will take the global lead for the company’s innovations in Nescafé coffee mixes and Milo powdered beverages.
Nestlé has invested almost CHF 4m in the extension, which will create 20 new jobs in 2013.
“With this investment, our research and development centre in Singapore becomes our leading global R&D centre for Nescafé Coffee Mixes and Milo,” said Johannes Baensch, Nestlé’s global head of research and development, at the opening ceremony. “One of R&D Singapore’s main objectives is to ensure that nutrition and health are integral considerations in new product development.”
