"Chocolate candies might initially come to mind when you hear the famous Nestlé name. And while it does own some well-known confections like KitKat and Toll House, you might be surprised to learn that it also owns over 2,000 brands ranging from beverages and infant food to pet food, soups, seasonings, cereals, ice creams, and even frozen and chilled foods. The Nestlé conglomerate defines itself with the logo and tagline "Good Food, Good Life.""
"Nestlé acquired Ralston Purina in December 2001, helping the pet food company expand product availability to customers worldwide. The livestock feed company was originally founded over 90 years ago by William H. Danforth, who partnered with George Robinson and William Andrews. In 1902, the Robinson-Danforth Company was renamed Ralston Purina. Purina's slogan is "Your pet, our passion." Over the years, the company developed nutrition-forward pet food for dogs and cats, while focusing on quality control."
Henri Nestlé founded the company in 1867, which merged with the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company in 1905 to become the modern Nestlé Group. The Swiss-based company is the world's largest food and beverage firm, employing more than 300,000 people and owning over 2,000 brands across beverages, infant food, pet food, soups, seasonings, cereals, ice cream, and frozen and chilled foods. The conglomerate uses the logo and tagline "Good Food, Good Life." Nestlé acquired Ralston Purina in December 2001. Purina focuses on nutrition-forward pet foods, quality control, long-term research, and expanded manufacturing, including a $195 million Wisconsin wet-food production increase announced in April 2024.
