The Nestlé Nespresso SA Company is the fastest growing operating unit of the Nestlé Group, the world's leading food, beverage, nutrition and wellness company.  While benefiting from Nestlé's expertise, Nestlé Nespresso is a strategic business unit in its own right, with overall responsibility for its research and development, the supply of its raw materials as well as the production and the marketing of its premium coffee products.

Nestlé Nespresso S.A. pioneered the portioned coffee market to provide the very highest quality coffees that could be enjoyed in the comfort of consumers' own homes and also savoured at out-of-home locations, such as restaurants, hotels, offices and luxury retail businesses.

Likewise, the Company operates in two market segments which cater to varying end-user needs: the Nespresso Business-to-Consumer division for customers or Club Members who like to enjoy the very best coffee at home, and the Nespresso Business-to-Business division for the out-of-home sector.

The market leader in premium portioned coffee, Nestlé Nespresso increased its revenues by 40 percent in 2007, which is significantly above its sustained annual compound growth rate of more than 35 percent during the last seven years. Nespresso retained its leadership position as worldwide retail sales of coffee machines increased to give it a 26.6 percent share in espresso machine sales. The Company plans to pass two billion CHF in revenue by the end of 2008 – two years ahead of initial projections. 

Throughout the Company's growth, Nestlé Nespresso has been unwavering in its focus to provide highest quality in everything that it does – from seeking out the perfect coffee cherries from exotic countries of origin to designing machines that not only are aesthetically pleasing but also are easy to use to providing friendly and professional service to our Club Members worldwide.

Nestlé Nespresso, headquartered in Paudex, Switzerland is made up of more than 2,500 employees from around the world, each passionate about their role in helping to collectively deliver the perfect cup of coffee.

Nestlé Nespresso expects to have 175 boutiques in 30 countries by the end of 2008.
