Nestlé Purina is fast-growing! Introducing Nestlé Purina’s newest factory in the U.S. – in Hartwell, Georgia – just shy of 110 miles northeast of Atlanta. We opened a state of the art distribution center in 2018 and production facility in 2019 – our first new factory in over 20 years. We are thrilled to be joining the Hartwell, GA community and to welcome as many as 240 new members to the Nestlé Purina family by 2023. With more than 100 acres, this 500,000 square foot facility will serve as our most versatile facility with the ability to switch product lines faster and more efficiently, than we have ever done before; all while distributing the brands our customers trust and pets love.
Our Founder, William H. Danforth, made the words ‘I Dare You’ an icon in our business—and they mean much more to us than simply a challenge to be ambitious. This dare drives us to be more than an average HR department. Whether joining us in our corporate office in St. Louis, MO, or in one of our U.S. factories, it’s likely to sit next to someone very different from you. Together, we share an unusual goal to drive our business forward by attracting, keeping, and developing the strongest talent.
