Brief History

Nestle (founded by Henri Nestle) was originally the first European condensed milk factory

opened in Switzerland by the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company in 1866. Later in 1905,

The Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company (founded by Americans Charles and George Page),

combined with Nestl after a couple of decades as fierce competitors to form the Nestl and

Anglo-Swiss Milk Company. Since then, Nestle has nourished across the globe starting from

World War 1. It is now a multinational food and beverage company with various products

including breakfast cereals, baby food, dairy products etc.

Size & Profit

As mentioned earlier, Nestle has expended its branch throughout the world. Nestle offices can be

found from countries starting from alphabets A-Z, which is EVERYWHERE. Since the day it

was founded up till today, Nestle now has approximately 470 factories, operating in more than

86 countries, and around 330,000 employees. It is no doubt a for profit business. Main

competitors of Nestle include PepsiCo, Krafts Food, Mars Incorporated and many more but this

still cant stop Nestle from being the worlds top food and beverage company as theymade an

astonishing total profit of $11.55 Billion last year. Nestle has around 8,000 brands with a wide

range of product including coffee, seasonings, chocolate, pet food and many more. In the year

end 2010, Nestle held 29.7% of the shares ofL'Oral.

The Nestle Corporation is headquartered in Vevey, Switzerland. It has the largestResearch and

Department network of any food company in the world, with 34 R&D facilities (3 Science &

Research centres and 31 Product Technology Centres and R&D centres worldwide), and over

5,000 people involved in Research and Development.Nestle also has corporate venture fundsand research partnerships with business partners and universities. Nestle products could be found

almost in any shopping mall, markets and almost any place. Its all around us, making it

extremely easy for consumers to find and buy.

Roles in Community & Jobs

Nestle did not only put their thoughts into making profit for the company but is also helping the

community. Nestle launched the Good Nutrition Programs in several countries to help children

adopt healthy nutrition habits as a component of a healthy lifestyle. Nestl also announced to

invest more than $500 million between 2011 and 2020 to develop health and wellness products

to help prevent and treat major diseases like diabetes and Alzheimers. Also, they need sufficient

employees in order to keep the business going as it is a worldwide business. Jobs like mechanic

maintenance and project engineer are included but I prefer to work in the R&D to improve food

and beverages that could improve the lives of others. The slogan Good Food, Good Life says it

all. Nestle wants to help. Its not about size, its about trust.
