The Nestlé company history begins in 1866, with the foundation of the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. Over 150 years ago, Henri Nestlé and the Page brothers laid the foundations of Nestlé. Henri Nestlé develops a breakthrough baby food in 1867 and in 1905 his company merges with Anglo-Swiss to form what we know as the Nestlé Group. What is the history of the name Nestlé?
