Gerber Products Company is a major American manufacturer of baby food and baby products. Founded in 1927 by Daniel Frank Gerber, the company is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. Gerber is a subsidiary of the Swiss multinational Nestlé.

History

The company was founded by Daniel Frank Gerber in 1927 in Fremont, Michigan. Gerber's initial product line included strained peas, prunes, carrots, and spinach. The idea for the business came from Gerber's wife, Dorothy, who began making hand-strained food for their daughter, Sally. Recognizing the potential market, Gerber began mass-producing baby food.

In 1994, Gerber merged with Sandoz Laboratories, which later became part of Novartis. In 2007, Gerber was acquired by Nestlé, a leading global nutrition, health, and wellness company.

Marketing

Gerber is known for its iconic "Gerber Baby" logo, which has been a symbol of the brand since 1928. The company uses various marketing strategies to promote its products, including partnerships with healthcare professionals and educational campaigns for parents.
