Abstract:

Besides being the world's no.1 food company in terms of sales, Nestle was also the world leader in coffee (Nescafe), food and nutrition. The company’s international Research & Development network supported products made in more than 500 factories in over 84 countries.

Most food companies worldwide were focusing on catering to health conscious consumers and increase their reach into health care segments. On the same premises, Nestlé acquired the medical nutrition business of Swiss pharmaceutical major, Novartis International AG in 2007, striving to reposition itself as nutrition, health and wellness company. With this acquisition, Nestle moved from being a minor player in healthcare nutrition segment to world number two player in the nutrition, health and wellness industry. Nestle aimed at becoming the leader of the industry with the combined strengths of the two companies.
