  • Products and Brands
    Management Report 2000 Products and brands The strength of Nestlé’s brands has given the company an unparalleled position on a global basis across a wide range of product categories. Six worldwide corporate brands, Nestlé, Nescafé, Nestea, Maggi, Buitoni and Friskies contribute about 70% of the group's total sales, with the Nestlé brand itself contributing 40%. These brands are the first choice of consumers around the world, whether as stand alone brands or in combination with product brands such as KitKat and LC1. Nestlé also owns regional and national brands with which consumers have a close and often longstanding familiarity. These brands enable consumers to express their individuality and to respect their traditions whilst still enjoying the quality of a Nestlé product and, as such, are key elements of the Nestlé portfolio. Nestlé’s brands and products are the focus of continual innovation and renovation so that they will be relevant and appealing to today’s and tomorrow’s consumers. As important as ensuring that our brands meet and beat our consumers’ expectations is ensuring that they are available whenever, wherever and however our consumers want them. The terms in italics are registered trademarks of the Nestlé Group. 27 Products and brands Beverages With well over 3000 cups drunk every second, sales of Nescafé have been growing ever since 1938 when Nestlé launched the first commercially successful soluble coffee. Nescafé, which today includes ready-to-drink varieties, is by far the world’s most popular brand of coffee. The Group markets traditional roasted coffees in several European countries, as well as espresso coffee in capsules through Nespresso.
