NESTLÉ MAY BE A WORLD- FAMOUS BRAND, BUT ITS BRITISH LINKS RUN DEEP - RIGHT TO THE HEART OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES
-
Nestlé has long been famous for classic brands like Nescafé and KitKat. But what's perhaps less well-known is the fact that, while its origins lie elsewhere, it has been part of British life for over 150 years.
Those British links run deep and wide, and what characterises them is a close relationship with the local communities involved.
FACTORIES
Nestlé has a long and proud history of manufacturing in the UK. York, for example, is the home of KitKat - it was invented - and is still made - there.
