Currently, 75% of Nestlé USA’s factories and 85% of its top customers are located in the eastern half of the United States.
Nestlé USA, a Glendale, Calif.-based subsidiary of Nestlé S.A., announced plans to transition its corporate headquarters to Rosslyn, Va., beginning later this year. The move signals Nestlé’s commitment to future investment and growth in the United States. The company expects to bring approximately 750 jobs to the Washington, D.C., area with this transition.
“With the food and beverage landscape continuing to transform at a rapid pace, Nestlé has been innovating and making strategic changes to the business over the past five years. This move is the next step in our evolution,” says Paul Grimwood, chairman and CEO. “We carefully considered a number of options, and Arlington hits all the marks. Not only is it attractive to our current employees while offering a great talent pool for the future, but this location [also] allows us to be closer to our business operations, our customers and other important stakeholders.”
