About Nestlé
Nestlé produces food and beverage products and services for people at all stages of life, supporting everyday needs from early childhood through adulthood. Its portfolio covers almost every food and beverage category. The offerings are designed to help people care for themselves and their families across different moments of the day.
The company traces its origins to 1866, when the first European condensed milk factory opened in Cham, Switzerland, and to 1867, when Henri Nestlé launched one of the world’s first prepared infant cereals, Farine lactée, in Vevey. Nestlé is headquartered in Vevey, Vaud, Switzerland, and operates factories or other operations in almost every country in the world.
Nestlé employs around 273,000 people and reported sales of CHF 84.3 billion in 2020. It is based in Vevey. Using its global scale, it delivers products and services worldwide.

Insights
Updated 1 Sep 2026Nestlé Purina is strengthening its position in pet food with a new $550 million factory in Ohio. This is the company’s first plant built from the ground up in more than 50 years, and the project is being presented as a model for the future of pet food manufacturing, with hundreds of jobs expected in Clermont County. That points to continued investment in domestic production capacity.
The move sits inside a wider push in the pet category. Market commentary points to growth opportunities in premium, eco-friendly, and plant-based pet products, while e-commerce and specialty retail are widening distribution, and proposed FDA changes would require companies to notify the agency when adding new substances to human or animal food. That suggests a more closely watched regulatory setting for food innovation.
For investors and local stakeholders, the Ohio plant is a positive operational signal. Large-scale capital deployment is being paired with job creation, and that combination is the clearest read from the source material, since it does not include Nestlé earnings, hiring plans beyond the factory jobs, or consumer sentiment data.
