Ferrero North America, a subsidiary of the renowned confectionery company Ferrero Group, has recently unveiled its new Innovation Center and R&D Labs in Chicago, Illinois. The state-of-the-art facility spans 45,000 square feet and is situated within the historic Marshall Field and Company Building. This strategic move brings together Ferrero’s R&D teams from across the United States to collaborate under one roof.
The cutting-edge facility will house over 150 employees working with various brands in Ferrero’s portfolio. Brookfield Properties manages the Marshall Field and Company Building which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978.
According to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, “Chicago’s innovation not only drives growth for iconic global brands like Keebler, Famous Amos and Fannie May but also solidifies our city as a top destination for world-class talent and businesses.”
