Henri Nestlé

Henri Nestlé was a Swiss pharmacist and entrepreneur who founded Nestlé in 1866. He developed a nutritious, easily digestible infant food by combining milk with wheat and sugar, addressing the needs of infants who couldn’t be breastfed. His innovation transformed baby nutrition and laid the groundwork for the world's largest food company. Nestlé’s approach emphasized quality, scientific research, and meeting consumer needs, which contributed to the company's global success. Today, Nestlé remains a leader in food and beverage products, continuing Henri Nestlé's legacy of innovation and dedication to nutrition.
