For over 140 years, Nestle has been applying its nutrition expertise in the development of products that contribute to the health and wellness of consumers, evolving into the world’s foremost Nutrition, Health and Wellness company. Headquartered in Vevey, Switzerland, Nestle currently employs over 275,000 people in 481 factories and operations in almost every country around the globe.
 
“Good Food, Good Life” is the foundational philosophy upon which Nestle continues to build an ever-increasing portfolio of quality brands that not only deliver on great taste, but on nutritional value as well. To that end, the company invests around USD 1.5 billion in research and development alone, every year.
 
Nestle's first Middle East operation was set up in Lebanon in the early 1930s. Nearly 70 years of success followed, leading up to the foundation of Nestle Middle East in 1997 in Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai, as a regional hub to fulfil the needs of the GCC, the Levant, Iran and Iraq markets.
                                                                                                                                                                                             
To date, Nestle has invested more than USD 400 million in the Middle East, owning and operating 14 factories and 16 offices. These capital investments have contributed heavily to creating job opportunities, enhancing technological and manufacturing capabilities, and fostering national economies around the region.
