About Us
Nestlé Australia
Nestlé Australia is part of Nestlé, one of the world’s leading food and beverage companies, with a long-standing presence in Australia and the wider Oceania region. With a history spanning more than a century in Australia, Nestlé has become a familiar name in Australian households, offering a diverse portfolio of food, beverage and nutrition products.
Nestlé’s purpose is to enhance quality of life and contribute to a healthier future. The company aims to unlock the power of food and beverages to help people live better lives today while contributing to a healthier and more sustainable future for generations to come.
Our History in Australia
Nestlé products have been available in Oceania since the late 19th century, with Nestlé opening its first Australian office in Sydney in 1908. Australia quickly became an important market for the company, and Nestlé subsequently developed a nationwide sales, distribution and manufacturing network.
One of Nestlé’s most notable Australian innovations is MILO, which was developed in Australia in 1934. The brand has since grown into an internationally recognised product sold in numerous markets around the world.
Today, Nestlé Oceania encompasses Australia, New Zealand and several Pacific Island nations, with thousands of employees working across offices, factories, distribution centres, retail locations and laboratories.
Our Brands and Products
Nestlé Australia offers a broad range of food and beverage products designed for different tastes, lifestyles and occasions. Its Australian portfolio includes well-known brands across beverages, coffee, breakfast cereals, chocolate and confectionery, snacks, cooking products, noodles, baking ingredients and other food categories.
Some of the familiar brands available through Nestlé Australia include MILO, NESCAFÉ, NESQUIK, UNCLE TOBYS, KITKAT, AERO, ALLEN’S, SMARTIES, ROLO and MAGGI, alongside a wide range of other local and international brands.
Nestlé combines global expertise with local knowledge to develop and provide products suited to the needs and preferences of Australian consumers.
Quality, Nutrition and Innovation
Innovation has been an important part of Nestlé’s history since the company’s beginnings. Today, Nestlé continues to invest in food science, nutrition and product development with the goal of providing safe, high-quality products while responding to changing consumer needs.
The company also works to improve the nutritional profile of its products, including efforts to reduce ingredients such as sodium, sugars and saturated fats while increasing beneficial ingredients such as fibre, whole grains, vegetables, nuts and seeds where appropriate.
Manufacturing in Australia
Nestlé maintains a significant manufacturing presence in Australia. Its Australian operations include manufacturing facilities producing a range of products for the local market and, where appropriate, international markets.
Nestlé Australia currently lists manufacturing facilities in locations including Gympie in Queensland, Smithtown and Blayney in New South Wales, and Wahgunyah, Broadford and Campbellfield in Victoria, with additional operations supporting Nestlé’s businesses in Australia.
This local manufacturing footprint helps Nestlé produce products close to the consumers and communities it serves.
Sustainability and Our Communities
Nestlé recognises that food production depends on healthy natural resources and resilient communities. Sustainability is therefore an important part of its long-term business strategy.
The company works across areas including climate action, responsible sourcing, regenerative agriculture, packaging, waste reduction, human rights and protection of nature. Nestlé has also set goals relating to regenerative agriculture and the restoration of natural ecosystems.
In Australia, Nestlé has also supported initiatives focused on communities, food security and environmental restoration. The company reports partnerships and programs including work with OzHarvest and efforts to plant and grow millions of trees across Australia.
