Toulouse, July 30th, 2018 – Newrest, a French specialist in out-of-home food services serving 1 million meals a day, has opened its first production unit in the United States in partnership with the Raleigh–Durham International Airport (RDU) to serve existing partner Delta Air Lines.

“I’m proud that Newrest is expanding into the United States. This new opportunity in a fiercely competitive sector shows that Newrest has what it takes to grow into new markets and adapt to its multicultural customers’ wants and needs,” said Newrest’s joint Chief Executive Officer and Founder Olivier Sadran.
