Nestle completes acquisition of Gerber
Nestle has completed its acquisition of Gerber, the iconic US baby food brand.
Consequently, the integration process of Gerber will now begin as about 4,500
Gerber employees, with their specific know-how and expertise, join the Nestle Group.
This is a major step in Nestle’s transformation into the world’s leading nutrition, health and wellness company: it gives the Group the number one position in the largest
single baby food market worldwide, the US, and clearly establishes Nestle Nutrition as the global leader in this sector.
The acquisition of Gerber, which comes in the wake of the Jenny Craig and Novartis Medical Nutrition purchases, transforms Nestle Nutrition into a business approaching CHF 10 billion (£6bn) in sales with an enhanced critical mass and access to the Group’s global R&D network to drive innovation.
