Nestle to invest €25m in Limerick R&D centre

Swiss food giant Nestle is to invest over €25m in a “significant” expansion of its existing R&D centre in Co Limerick.

The enhanced facility, at Askeaton, already produces a range of high-quality premium powdered milk-based products for infants, young children, and mothers for export to world markets.

The improved R&D Centre will focus on global product innovation for Nestle’s Wyeth Nutrition infant and maternal nutrition business and is expected to open in late 2017.
