"Émaillerie Alsacienne de Strasbourg". Nestlé's founder, the Swiss-German pharmacist Henri Nestlé, launched his milk flour (a flour with added milk) in Vevey, Switzerland. The story began in 1866, when the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company opened the first condensed milk factory in Europe in Switzerland. In 1867, Henri Nestlé developed an innovative infant food, and in 1904 Nestlé made its first foray into the chocolate market. In 1905, the company he founded merged with Anglo-Swiss. It later became the Nestlé Group as we know it today (source: nestle.ch).
