Nestle

Nestlé is a Swiss food and beverage brand whose origins date to Henri Nestlé’s introduction of an infant food in Vevey in 1867. Its development, including the 1905 merger with the Anglo-Swiss company, helped shape the international Nestlé group. In Iran, the group operates through Nestlé Iran, a local company registered in February 1995 that subsequently established a domestic manufacturing presence.

The portfolio presented on Nestlé Iran’s official website centres on child nutrition and coffee. It includes CERELAC complementary foods, NAN and GUIGOZ milk products, and CERELAC Nutri-Biscuit. The coffee range brings together NESCAFÉ instant coffee and coffee mixes, alongside COFFEE-MATE creamer. These individual brands represent distinct product families within the wider Nestlé portfolio.

Nestlé Iran established its Qazvin factory in 2001 and began manufacturing CERELAC in the early 2000s. Production subsequently expanded to include milk formulas and powdered beverage mixes. In 2020, the company announced additional investment and the opening of NESCAFÉ instant coffee and culinary product lines in Qazvin, marking a further stage in the development of its Iranian manufacturing operations. 

Nestlé Iran’s commercial activities combine domestic manufacturing, local packing and products sourced from other Nestlé operations. Its official product information identifies NESCAFÉ Red Mug as produced in Brazil and packed in Iran, while COFFEE-MATE is listed as a product of Nestlé Thailand. This operating model makes product origin and the role of the Iranian facility important considerations for trade buyers assessing the range.
