Company Nestle was built in 1866 by Henri Nestle, a pharmacist who developed baby food for babies who did not get their mother’s milk. Nestle doubled its size during World War I. In the 1920s, Nestle expanded its range of products like chocolate that became its second activity after milk. Nestle profits dropped down during due to effects of World War II. In 1947, Nestle had a dynamic phase with acquired companies like Findus and L’Oreal. In the 1990s, Nestle continued acquiring companies like San Pellegrino and others.

... The Nespresso story began over 27 years ago with a simple but revolutionary idea: enable anyone to create the perfect cup of espresso coffee just like skilled baristas, but in your little environment. The Nespresso concept has redefined and revolutionised the way millions of people enjoy their espresso coffee today. It has shaped the global coffee culture. Thanks to continuous innovations and highest quality, Nespresso has evolved from being the pioneer and trendsetter for portioned coffee into a worldwide reference. Let’s go back to the start of this amazing journey! In 1986, Nestlé Group founded the company Nespresso SA. It was inspired by Luiggi Bezzera’s original espresso coffee concept. It developed a revolutionary system of portioned, encapsulated coffee and dedicated machines that interact to deliver what was expected to be a perfect coffee. But only four initial coffee varieties included Capriccio, Cosi, Decaffeinato and Bolero (now known as Volluto) were offered. And the first two machines offered (the C100 and C1100) are designed to resemble mini espresso machines that people were used to seeing and enjoying at cafés and restaurants. In 1989, Nespresso first tested the Nespresso system in the Swiss household market with Turmix as machine partner. . In 1991, Nespresso SA takes a huge turning point deciding to produce their own machines exclusively with Eugster, which becomes their exclusive producer. Within the same year, Nespresso enters the markets...

...------------------------------------------------- March 01, 2012 How a brand could go ahead: Nespresso Nespresso, Swiss brand, was a separate company created in 1986 as a 100% owned Nestlé affiliate aiming to further develop, produce and market the Nespresso system. The product consisted of high quality coffee packed in aluminum capsules for exclusive use in specially designed machines. There were eight available coffee varieties. With this product, Nespresso was developed as a totally innovate system. However, the company had to face some troubling signs of market. Nespresso was on sales fields for both the machines and the capsules, but at the end of 1987 just half of the manufactured machines were sold, and without the machines further coffee capsules would not sell. Consequently to this, the machines had defects that were consuming much of the maintenance and service budgets that were covering in total by Nestlé. We can see at this point, that one of the causes of the losses of the company was the slow sales in non-traditional espresso markets like japan. Given this situation, we can identify two problems faced by the company: the first one was a problem of distance with the customer, and the second one, it seems as if the company had forgotten its primary purpose: the sale of coffee, not machines. For the first issue, Nespresso had to have thought about the customer (what he wanted) within its distribution strategy. In addition, Nespresso needs to think on a way that the customer could buy the desired...

...EXECUTIVE INTERVIEW Changing the Strategy at Nespresso: An Interview with Former CEO Jean-Paul Gaillard CONSTANTINOS MARKIDES, London Business School DANIEL OYON, University of Lausanne Background to the Interview Nespresso represents one of the most innovative ´ new products developed by the Swiss giant, Nestle. The product is basically a system that allows the consumer to produce a fresh cup of espresso coffee at home. Though simple in appearance and use, it took Nestle more than 10 years to develop it. ´ The system consists of two parts: a coffee capsule and a machine. The coffee capsule is hermetically sealed in aluminum and contains 5 g of roast and ground coffee. The machine consists of four parts — a handle, a water container, a pump and an electrical heating system. These four parts are cast into a body and form the machine. The use of the Nespresso system is straightforward. The coffee capsule is placed in the handle which is then inserted into the machine. The act of inserting the handle into the machine pierces the coffee capsule at the top. At the press of a button, pressurized, steamed water is passed through the capsule. The result is a creamy, foamy and high-quality cup of espresso coffee. The new product was introduced in 1986. The orig´ inal strategy adopted by Nestle was to set up a joint venture with a Swiss-based distributor called Sobal to sell the new product. This joint venture (named Sobal-Nespresso) was supposed to purchase the 296 machines from...

Nespresso, whose sales grew by about 20 per cent to SFr3.5bn last year, said it would invest SFr300m on a new plant in Romont in the Swiss canton of Freiburg. The factory will be similar to the second Nespresso plant at Avenches, built and then swiftly extended to relieve pressure on Nespresso’s original production site. “Some 25 years after creating the portioned coffee segment, the third Nespresso production centre will provide the capacity needed to sustain growth in Europe and develop our brand globally.” said Patrice Bula, Nespresso chairman. The new plant, to cost SFr300m and create more than 400 jobs, is expected to start production in the first half of 2015.
