It resulted from a merger in 1905 between the Anglo-Swiss Milk Company for milk products established in 1866 by the Page Brothers in Cham, Switzerland and the Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé Company set up in 1867 by [[Henri Nestlé]] to provide an infant food product. Several of Nestlé's brands are globally renowned, which made the company a global [[market leader]] in many product lines, including [[milk]], [[chocolate]], [[confectionery]], [[bottled water]], [[coffee]], [[ice cream]], [[food seasoning]] and [[pet foods]].<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.google.com/analytics/case_study_nestle.html |title = Nestlé: Following the Customers' Tracks with Google Analytics |publisher = Google Analytics |author = |date = |accessdate = 2007-02-21 }}</ref> The company stock is listed on the [[SWX Swiss Exchange]]. Some of Nestlé's business practices have been considered unethical, particularly the manner in which infant formula has been marketed in [[Developing country|developing countries]], which led to the [[Nestlé boycott]] from 1977. ==Pronunciation== Some people in the [[English language|English]]-speaking countries pronounce ''Nestlé's'' {{IPAEng|/ˈnɛsəlz/}}, as in the English [[verb]] ''nestle''. This was the pronunciation used in company merchandising in Australia and the UK for much of the 20th century, e.g. Nestlé's [[Milkybar]], and is still used today in some regions such as the [[Black Country]]. In TV ads in the United States, ''Nestlé's'' is pronounced {{IPA|/ˈnɛstliːz/}} or {{IPA|/ˈnɛsliːz/}}. The common pronunciation of ''Nestlé'' in Australia is now {{IPA|[ˈneslæɪ]}}, due to the alteration of its pronunciation in advertising over recent years. However, the brand is derived from the founder's family name from the French-speaking part of Switzerland, where Nestlé is [[Help:IPA|pronounced]] {{IPA|[nɛstle]}} or {{IPA|[nɛsle]}} (this pronunciation used in [[Vietnam]] also). In China, ''Nestlé'' is called 雀巢 (què cháo) in [[pinyin]]. In Thailand, it is เนสเล่. [[Image:Nestle hq.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Nestle HQ, [[Vevey]], [[Switzerland]].]] == History == Nestlé was founded in 1860. In the 1860s Henri Nestlé, a [[pharmacist]], developed a food for babies whose mothers were unable to breastfeed. His first success was a premature infant who could not tolerate his own mother's milk nor any of the usual substitutes. The value of the new product was quickly recognized when his new formula saved the child's life, and soon, ''Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé'' was being sold in much of [[Europe]]. In 1905 Nestlé merged with the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. By the early 1900s, the company was operating factories in the [[United States]], [[United Kingdom]], [[Germany]] and [[Spain]]. [[World War I]] created new demand for dairy products in the form of government contracts. By the end of the war, Nestlé's production more than doubled. After the war, government contracts dried up and consumers switched back to fresh milk. However, Nestlé's management responded quickly, streamlining operations and reducing debt. The 1920s saw Nestlé's first expansion into new products, with chocolate the company's second most important activity. Nestlé felt the effects of [[World War II]] immediately. Profits dropped from [[US$]]20 million in 1938 to US$6 million in 1939. Factories were established in developing countries, particularly [[Latin America]]. Ironically, the war helped with the introduction of the company's newest product, [[Nescafé]], which was a staple drink of the US military. Nestlé's production and sales rose in the wartime economy. [[Image:Nestle's old logo.gif|thumb|Nestlé's logo used until 1970s]] The end of World War II was the beginning of a dynamic phase for Nestlé. Growth accelerated and companies were acquired. In 1947 came the merger with [[Maggi]] seasonings and soups. [[Crosse & Blackwell]] followed in 1950, as did [[Findus]] (1963), [[Libby's]] (1971) and [[Stouffer's]] (1973). Diversification came with a shareholding in [[L'Oréal]] in 1974. In 1977, Nestlé made its second venture outside the food industry by acquiring [[Alcon|Alcon Laboratories Inc.]] [[Image:Nestlé1.jpg|thumb|250px|The [[Brazil]]ian president, [[Lula da Silva]], inaugurates a factory in [[Feira de Santana]] ([[Bahia]]), February, 2007.]] In 1984, Nestlé's improved bottom line allowed the company to launch a new round of acquisitions, notably American food giant [[Carnation (trademark)|Carnation]] and the British confectionery company [[Rowntree's|Rowntree Mackintosh]] in 1988, which brought the [[The Willy Wonka Candy Company|Willy Wonka]] Brand to Nestlé. The first half of the 1990s proved to be favorable for Nestlé: trade barriers crumbled and world markets developed into more or less integrated trading areas. Since 1996 there have been acquisitions including [[San Pellegrino]] (1997), [[Spillers Petfoods]] (1998), and [[Ralston Purina]] (2002). There were two major acquisitions in [[North America]], both in 2002: in June, Nestlé merged its U.S. ice cream business into [[Dreyer's]], and in August a US$2.6 billion acquisition was announced of [[Chef America]], the creator of [[Hot Pockets]]. In the same time frame, Nestlé came close to purchasing the iconic American company [[Hershey's]], though the deal fell through.<ref>{{cite news |url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/2050788.stm |title = Nestlé buys US ice cream firm |publisher = BBC News |date=[[17 June]] [[2002]] |accessdate = 2007-02-22 }}</ref> Another recent purchase includes the [[Jenny Craig]] fitness firm for US$600 million. In December 2005 Nestlé bought the [[Greece|Greek]] company [[Delta Ice Cream]] for [[Euro|€]]240 million.

The controversy ultimately led to the widespread Nestlé boycott, starting in 1977. Nestlé has since launched several [[Fairtrade]] products across the world, including Partners Blend in the UK<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nestle.co.uk/OurBrands/AboutOurBrands/Beverages/PartnersBlend.htm| title= Nestlé UK - Partners Blend| accessdate=2007-02-24| publisher=Nestlé UK}}</ref> and several grind-at-home Fairtrade coffees in Sweden, which led to a new round of criticism. In December 2007 Nestlé was found guilty of colluding with other milk producers to fix prices in Greece [http://www.foodanddrinkeurope.com/news/ng.asp?n=81829-nestle-vivartia-milk-prices]. ===Baby milk marketing=== {{see also|Nestlé boycott|International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes}} Since the late 1970s, Nestlé has attracted much criticism for its artificial baby milk marketing policies in developing countries. Nestlé has allegedly violated the widely agreed-upon [[International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes]] ("International Code").<ref>{{cite news |url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2667401.stm |title = Baby milk marketing 'breaks rules' |publisher = BBC News |date=[[17 January]] [[2003]] |accessdate = 2007-02-22 }}</ref> This led to a boycott coordinated by the [[International Nestlé Boycott Committee]], informed by monitoring conducted by the [[International Baby Food Action Network]]. In 1982, Nestlé implemented the International Code in developing countries. The instructions were reviewed and refined in 1984 in consultation with the WHO, [[UNICEF]] and the International Nestlé Boycott Committee. Nestlé itself still advertised breast milk replacements and used pictures of babies in its advertising in 2004.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.ibfan.org/english/codewatch/btr04/btr04contents.html |title = Breaking the Rules, Stretching the Rules 2004 |publisher = |author = |date = |accessdate = 2007-02-22 }}</ref> Nestlé has issued instructions to all its offices to ensure strict compliance with the International Code.

The local brands included Dog Chow, Cat Chow, Puppy Chow, Fiel, Friskies, Gatsy, K-Nina, Nutriperro, Perrarina and Pajarina.It was reported that it was caused by a supplier that had stored corn used in animal food production incorrectly, which led to a proliferation of a fungus with a high quantity of [[aflatoxin]] causing hepatic problems in the animals that ate the food. On [[March 3]] [[2005]], the [[National Assembly of Venezuela|National Assembly]] (Venezuela's federal legislature) stated that the company Nestlé Purina was responsible for the quality standards and that compensation must be paid to the owners of the affected animals. ===Nestlé water=== In 2001, [[Mecosta County, Michigan]] licensed the company, then a subsidiary of [[Perrier]], to open a bottling plant in [[Stanwood, Michigan|Stanwood]] for a fee of less than US$100 a year.<ref>{{cite news |url = http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Water/Who's_Right_Water.html |title = Whose Right to Water? |publisher = Dollars and Sense magazine |author = Kevin Murray |date=December 2003 |accessdate = 2007-02-22 }}</ref> Operating requirements of the factory called for pumping 500,000 gallons (1.9 million litres) of water a day from an [[aquifer]]. After learning about the plan, Michigan Citizens for Water Conservation launched a direct action campaign against Nestlé and sought a temporary injunction to halt pumping while the court heard arguments on the legality of Nestlé's use of the water. However, this injunction has not been granted. Nestlé purchased the [[Calistoga Water Company]] in 1980. Nestlé Canada applied for a five year extension and increase in volume with respect to water bottling activities at [[Aberfoyle, Ontario]] near [[Guelph Ontario]].
