About
2026 marks a pivotal turning point for Nestlé’s digital manufacturing strategy. After a record-breaking year where our Additive Manufacturing (AM) program surpassed 2024 savings by over 30%, we are scaling our operations to meet the next frontier of industrial 3D printing.
This session dives into the strategic expansion of our UK workshop, featuring the development of a dedicated food-safe room. By integrating advanced technology to produce certified, food-contact parts on-site, Nestlé is significantly reducing lead times and increasing operational efficiency. We will explore the roadmap that led to this expansion and discuss whether this facility represents a UK industry first. Join us to learn how we transitioned AM from a niche prototyping tool into a high-value, certified production powerhouse that is fundamentally changing the cost dynamics of our UK factories.
