Description: Caption reads: "Nestle Co. Factory on Tecumseh Point. Darke County, Greenville, O. Mar. 25, 1938." Nestlé began in 1905 after a merger between the Anglo Swiss Milk Company and the Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé Company. First specializing in condensed milk and infant food formulas, in the 1920's the company expanded its product lines, with chocolate being the second biggest product. Prior to the second world war, the company had factories in the United States, Britain, Germany and Spain, but with a steep drop in profits between 1938 and 1939, Nestlé opened factories in developing countries like Latin America. Between World War II and today, Nestlé expanded by acquiring or merging with multiple companies. View on Ohio Memory.
