# Our history

150 years of expertise in nutrition, health and wellness

The world has changed a lot since Henri Nestlé and the Page brothers laid the foundations of our company in 1866. Yet our mission to improve lives remains the same.

Today, we're drawing on over 150 years of expertise to enhance quality of life for everyone. Not just now but for generations to come. We want to create more enjoyment. To bring better health. To make good nutrition accessible and affordable. And we want to do it all while protecting the planet that we call home.
