Nestle was founded in 1867 in Geneva, Switzerland by Henri Nestle. Nestls first product was "Farine Lactee
Nestle", an infant cereal. In 1905, Nestle acquired the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. Nestls
relationship with India started 1912, when it began trading as The Nestle Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk
Company (Export) Limited, importing and selling finished products in the Indian market.
After independence, in response to the then economic policies, which emphasized local production, Nestle
formed a company in India, namely Nestle India Ltd.
Today, Nestle is the world's largest and most diversified food company. It has around 2,50,000 employees

MARKETING
Sales and Marketing are amongst the main strengths of Nestle
It is the hierarchy, which has strengthened the foundation of Nestles
marketing force, is as in fig 1:
Managing director
Vice President
(Marketing)
The efficacy of this hierarchical structure is seen in Nestle's
performance over past few years of various products.
By 1989 the company had achieved a sales figure of approximately
Rs. 258 crores. 1989 was the year of launches. Seven new product
lines were launched in this year. This was also the year in which the
Nanjagud factory was set up. By the year 1992, this sales figure was

touching Rs. 500 crores. In the 1990's the pace of launches
quickened and since the construction of the factory at Samalakha, 20
new products have been introduced. By 1996, Nestle had about 76
different products in its portfolio with various new products in the
pipeline as well. The sales figure now touched Rs. 1214 crores. Thus
sales grew by 450% over a period of one and a half decades.
MARKETING STRATEGY
Nest le has adopted a four pronged growth st rategy:
1. Gunning the market with new products and brand extensions.
2. Expansion of the distribution network to small towns for extensive availability
3. Reduce prices and introduce smaller packages for products to make them more
affordable (a tool to enter price sensitive markets).
4. Focus on employ training and develop a positive attitude through enhanced
manpower development.
5. By year 2000 it expects chocolate and confectionery to account for one in every
third rupee in sale.
In the late 1996 fear of breading complacency by not having a continuous
improvement, gave birth to an international sales and marketing improvement
teams (SMIT).
SMIT maps the latest in helping towards the target of year 2000. The SMIT
exercise is a major global initiative of Nestle to enhance sales and marketing
productivi ty. Linked with the al read y exist ing BECA project, which in turn

emphasizes on excellence by improving the distribution set up, this gave rise to the
following growth objectives for the year 2000:
Ensure direct coverage of all urban towns in India.

Work in partnership with the distributor for the achievement of these
objectives.
Provide sustainable solution to optimize our secondary sales from distributor to
