About Us
Our history begins in 1866, when the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company opens the first European condensed milk factory in Switzerland. Henri Nestlé develops a breakthrough infant food in 1867, and in 1905 the company he founded merges with Anglo-Swiss, to form what is now known as the Nestlé Group. During this period cities grow and railways and steamships bring down commodity costs, spurring international trade in consumer goods.
