Nestlé USA, Ocean Spray Form Alliance
The beverage division of Glendale, CA-based Nestlé USA and growers’ cooperative Ocean Spray Cranberries, Lake­ville-Middleboro, MA, have formed a long-term strategic operations alliance that will enable both companies to significantly increase manufacturing and supply chain efficiency, while maintaining high quality products for their respective juice businesses. Within the strategic operations alliance, Nestlé will transition over time its manufacturing of Libby’s Juicy Juice and Libby’s Kerns Nectars to Ocean Spray facilities. The companies will also pursue collaborative procurement of common raw and packaging materials and common operating supplies, as well as shared logistics to increase process efficiency across the supply chain.
