Currently the second largest healthcare nutrition company in the world, Nestlé HealthCare Nutrition employs 2,500 people in approximately 30 countries. In 2008, the business is due to finalize the integration of Novartis Medical Nutrition that was acquired by Nestlé in 2007. The enlarged business’ competitiveness and growth is derived from a combination of science-based and insight-inspired innovation, specialized healthcare marketing capabilities and multi-channel competency.

In R&D our capabilities encompass science-based products targeting specific conditions, clinical trial management and regulatory skills, with competitive advantages in taste and format.
Our specialized approach to healthcare marketing is based upon investments in in-depth consumer and customer understanding, strong relationships with healthcare professionals and the development of health economic data that highlights the value of our nutritional solutions to the healthcare system. Our expertise and coverage of distribution channels includes the retail sector and institutions with access to decision makers in hospitals, nursing homes and home care organizations.
