Revlon Brings R&D Functions to NEST Center in Kenilworth

The Northeast Science and Technology (NEST) Center, a 100-acre campus in Kenilworth, NJ that formerly served as the global headquarters of Merck, will now house the R&D lab of Revlon. Revlon’s research labs, pilot manufacturing and office functions will be centralized within a 62,000-square-foot space within 15 NEST, the building that up until recently served as Merck’s global research headquarters

“Revlon’s decision to join NEST is an exciting step towards our vision of a dynamic, collaborative, innovation ecosystem,” said Matthew Flath, Onyx Equities’ SVP asset management, who oversees the NEST campus. “With their decades-long legacy in beauty and personal care, Revlon complements the forward-thinking research environment at NEST and is helping to establish a community where leading science and technology companies unite to innovate, thrive and elevate industry standards.”
