Nestlé S.A. is a Switzerland-based food and beverage company whose products are sold internationally through retail, foodservice and other distribution channels. Its portfolio spans coffee, pet care, nutrition and health science, confectionery, dairy products, ice cream, prepared foods and bottled water.
Well-known brands associated with Nestlé include Nescafé, Nespresso, KitKat, Purina, Gerber, Maggi and Nestea, although brand availability varies by market. The company also develops specialized nutrition products for infants, medical settings and other health-related applications.
Nestlé traces its history to 1866, when the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company was established, and to Henri Nestlé’s development of an infant-food product in 1867. The businesses combined in 1905 to form the company that became Nestlé. Today, Nestlé serves consumers in markets around the world, with operations spanning the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania.
Nestlé is led by Chief Executive Officer Laurent Freixe, who assumed the role in September 2024, and Chairman Paul Bulcke.
