HISTORY OF AQUAFINA
Henri Nestlé founded Nestlé in 1866 in Switzerland. Nestlé means
‘little nest’ in Swiss German. Nestlé first customer was a premature infant
who could tolerate neither his mother’s milk nor any other conventional
substitute. Thus, Henri’s ultimate goal was to help fight the problem of
infant mortality due to malnutrition for which he developed a product
combining various cow’s milk, wheat flour and sugar and name it Farine
Lactee Nestlé, which was the first product of Nestlé being marketed in
Europe.
In 1974, Jules Monnerat purchased Nestlé and collectively they
launched a condensed milk product of its own. In 1905, Nestlé got merged
with Anglo-Swiss condensed milk.
After some time, when Nestlé got fully established and all its
operation were properly functioning in Europe and was gaining fame around
Europe, then Nestlé decided to set up production plants around the globe to
ensure the growth of the organization and to become multinational.
The decision to set up industrial operation in new market needs a lot
of research, as there are various factors that effect the growth of the
organization and turns out to be a loss for the company. Such factors are as
follows
The availability of raw material
Cost factor
Economic climate
Consumer purchasing power
Consumer tastes
The decision to become multinational turned fruitful for Nestlé and today
Nestlé has its own operations and products in America, England, India,
Brazil, Australia, Pakistan, Hungary, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and
various other countries around the globe.
