COMPANY BACKGROUND
HISTORY
Nestle history
Henri Nestle started the international food and beverage corporation Nestle in 1866. With operations in more than 190 nations, the company has now expanded to rank among the greatest food and beverage corporations in the world.
A milk-based baby meal was created in 1867 by chemist Henri Nestle for infants who could not be breastfed. The "Farine Lactée" product was the first in a long line of Nestle goods designed to improve people's lives via nutrition.
Nestle has expanded its product offerings since merging with the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company in 1905.
Over the years, Nestle has added a wide range of products to its portfolio, including chocolate, coffee, pet food, and bottled water. In the early 2000s, Nestle started to focus on health and wellness products and acquired businesses such as Jenny Craig, Gerber, and Novartis Medical Nutrition. In 2018, Nestle acquired the rights to sell Starbucks coffee.
Nescafe, Kit Kat, Smarties, Gerber, and Purina are just a few of the more than 2,000 brands that Nestle currently owns globally. The business, which has over 300,000 employees globally, is dedicated to enhancing life quality via good nutrition, health, and wellness.
