Hain Celestial has inaugurated a new Innovation Experience Center (IEC) at its global headquarters in Hoboken, New Jersey, US.
The new facility will be used to assess the functionality and sustainability of the product packaging for Hain’s snacks, baby and children’s products, beverages, meal prep, and personal care brands.
Additionally, the 2,200ft² centre will also serve as a collaborative space for product development, ingredient testing, quality reviews, and category assessments.
The IEC is set to become a creative hub for Hain Celestial, bringing together teams, customers, and partners to foster innovation in the health and wellness sector.
It features a working kitchen and is divided into two areas: one dedicated to technical product development and another designed to provide a full sensory experience for visitors.
Hain Celestial’s commitment to better-for-you products is reflected in the design and construction of the IEC, which was a collaborative effort involving the company’s Global R&D, quality, regulatory, and Innovation teams.
