Nestle

The first nestle plant to begin production in the United States was opened in Fulton, Oswego County, New York. The plant, however, closed in 2001, after the company decided that the costs of rebuilding and upgrading the plant were ineffective. The factory workers were furious and hung against the company flag on the day of the announcement of the closure.

After the war, government contracts dwindled and consumers switched to fresh milk. However, Nestle's management responded quickly, streamlining operations, and reducing debt. In the 1920s, the company first expanded to new products, with chocolate as its second most important activity.

Nestle was immediately aware of the effects of The Second World War. Profits fell from us $20 million in 1938 to us $6 million in 1939. Factories have been established in developing countries, especially in Latin America. Ironically, the war helped with the introduction of the company's latest product, Nescafe, a staple drink of the US military. Production and sales increased during the war until now.
