Nestlé invests in medical nutrition
Nestlé has invested €40m in a French factory to boost its medical foods production targeted at hospitals and healthcare institutions.

The Nestlé Professional Davigel factory in Noyal-Pontivy, France, site makes about 3000 products including frozen and chilled foods.

“We pride ourselves on continuous innovation,”​ said Jean-Marie Gurné, Head of Nestlé Professional Business-to-Business.

“This investment will help provide an even greater variety of high-quality, nutritious products to satisfy our customers’ expectations.”

“As hospitals’ budgets continue to be squeezed, it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to cater to patients’ specific nutritional and dietary requirements.

“Customised nutrition solutions such as those provided by Davigel can not only help to reduce the length of patients’ hospital stays, but also overall health costs.”

Davigel had a turnover of €783 million in 2012 and employs 3000 people. The expansion is die to complete in 2014.
