In the course of developing its goals, this group began producing CERELAC infant formula in 2002 and subsequently launched production lines for other products such as infant formula with the GUIGOZ and NAN brands, NESQUIK cocoa powder mix, and NESCAFÉ instant coffee powder mix in the following years.
In 2007, Nestlé Iran took another step towards domestic production and launched the NESTLÉ PURE LIFE production line in the Islamic Republic of Iran by investing in the country’s drinking water production industry. Since then, investing in the country and increasing product diversity have been priorities for the company. Nestlé Iran has always been proud to contribute to improving the lives of the Iranian people and society and will continue to invest in improving their nutrition, health, and wellness.

Nestle Iran Co. History
Our history dates back to 1866, when the Swiss-English company Nestlé was founded. In 1867, Nestlé’s founder, a German-born pharmacist named Henri Nestlé, introduced the Farine Lacte formula in Vaud, Switzerland. The product, which contained cow’s milk, wheat flour, and sugar, was created with the aim of saving the lives of infants deprived of breast milk and reducing the high infant mortality rate at the time. It was around this time that he began using the nest design on his product packaging, which can still be seen on the Nestlé logo today.
In 1905, the Nestlé Art Company merged with the Anglo-Swiss Company, creating what we know today as the world's largest food and beverage company, Nestlé. At the same time, the opening of railways and steamships lowered the price of goods, international trade in consumer goods flourished, and Nestlé products were distributed in other countries.
