Newrest opens its first production unit in the United States

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.

This new operation significantly strengthens the French catering group’s presence in North America—Newrest has been operating in Canada since 2009—, a market brimming with promising prospects for all its activities (catering for airlines, railway companies and other organizations).

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.
