The Nestlé Story
Nestlé UK is an important component of this international company. The story started in 1868, when Henri Nestlé set up a sales office in London. In 1901, Nestlé opened its first UK factory, and in 1905 merged with the Anglo–Swiss Condensed Milk Company. Over the years Nestlé has acquired other names almost as famous as its own – notably Rowntree's – as well as gaining a reputation for innovation. In 1913 chocolate production began at Hayes, including the launch of the famous brand of white chocolate Milky Bar in 1937.
