Gerber Moves Headquarters To Arlington From New Jersey

ARLINGTON, VA — The baby food company Gerber is moving its U.S. headquarters from Florham Park, New Jersey to Arlington, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) said Monday. The move will create 150 jobs and an estimated $4.2 million in new revenue over the next 15 years.

Gerber will occupy 23,392 square feet of office space at 1812 North Moore in Rosslyn, according to a release from the city. The space belongs to Gerber's parent company, Nestlé.

Northam approved a state grant of $862,500 from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund to assist the County with the project, which Arlington County will match in local infrastructure improvements.

“Gerber is an iconic, global brand. We are honored the company has chosen Arlington as its home and that parent company Nestlé is confident to increase its investment in our community," Victor Hoskins, director of Arlington Economic Development, said in a statement.

Gerber was bought out by Nestlé in 2007. Nestlé will invest an additional $5 million for the move.
