Nestlé completed its acquisition of Gerber, the iconic US baby food brand, following the successful conclusion of the regulatory process on September 1.

The integration of Gerber into Nestlé will now begin, as about 4,500 Gerber employees, with their specific know-how and expertise, join the Nestlé Group.

This is a major step in Nestlé's transformation into the world's leading nutrition, health and wellness company: it gives the group the top spot in the largest single baby food market worldwide - the US - and clearly establishes Nestlé 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 Nestlé Nutrition into a business approaching CHF 10 billion in sales with an enhanced critical mass and access to the group's global research and development network to drive innovation.
