In September, Pepperidge will open its 34,000-square-foot innovation center at the Pepperidge Farm headquarters. The center is a $30 million investment designed to support Campbell’s strategy of driving growth in baked snacks and the company’s efforts to accelerate innovation across its baking and snacking portfolio.
The center will have a pilot plant with product development and testing lines, culinary kitchens, scientific labs and meeting rooms.
“Our innovation center is the first of many steps that will raise Pepperidge Farm to new heights as a brand that consistently delivers quality products with wholesome ingredients, unique flavors and simple goodness, which is true to our heritage and Margaret’s (Rudkin, company founder) legacy,” Ms. Britt said.
