INTRODUCTION
Nestle - Company Overview
“Good Food, Good Life” – Nestlé is today world’s leading health, nutrition and wellness company (Nestle, 2012). Nestlé’s mission is to provide the best tasting and nutritious choices in extensive range of beverages and food categories to its consumers all over the world. Today Nestle has 67 brands of bottled water, produced in 36 countries and its distribution is made in 130 countries worldwide (Nestlé Waters, 2011).
Nestle traces its origin back in 1866 when Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company opened the first European condensed milk factory in Cham, Switzerland. One year later, a trained pharmacist, Henri Nestle, introduced world’s first prepared cereals for infants in ‘Farine lactee’ in Switzerland. Both of these companies merged in 1905 to be a company known as Nestle with headquarters based in Swiss town of Vevey – where it started in the beginning. (Nestle, 2012). Nestlé’s first customer was a premature infant who was unable to tolerate his mother’s milk as well as any other conventional substitutes. Henri’s effort was to develop an alternative source of infant nutrition for mothers who were unable to breast feed. Thus the cereal was prepared with his experiments on various combinations of cow’s milk, wheat flour and sugar (Nestle, 2012).
Today Nestle employs around 328,000 people and are managing different factories and/or operations in almost every country of the World. Nestle
