CHF 11 billion
Approximate value of annualised sales of Nestlé Nutrition

Nestlé Nutrition is a global, standalone business that focuses on delivering science-based nutrition products and services designed to address specific health and wellness needs. With a presence in more than 100 countries and with more than 20 000 employees, it operates in four key business areas:

• Infant Nutrition (infant formula, toddler and baby food) - helping infants and young children to grow and develop into healthy adults
• Healthcare Nutrition - products for the elderly, and for people recovering from, or managing, certain medical conditions
• Performance Nutrition - promoting peak mental and physical performance for athletes and highly active people
• Weight Management - offering personalised weight management programs that help consumers to lose weight.

With the acquisition of the Gerber Baby Food Company in September 2007, infant feeding solutions and baby food make up more than 70% of Nestlé Nutrition’s business (Baby Food 44%, Infant Formula 29%). This now gives us the number one position in the largest single baby food market worldwide, the United States, and clearly establishes Nestlé Nutrition as the global leader in the sector.

This acquisition comes in the wake of two others - Novartis Medical Nutrition and Jenny Craig - transforming Nestlé Nutrition into a business with annual sales in excess of CHF 10 billion. See
