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
