Nestlé Pakistan
Nestlé Pakistan Limited (/ˈnɛsleɪ/ NESS-lay), a subsidiary of the Swiss multinational Nestlé, is a leading food and beverage company based in Lahore, Pakistan. It produces and markets a diverse range of products, including dairy, confectionery, coffee, beverages, infant nutrition, and bottled drinking water.
The company is publicly traded on the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
Nestlé Pakistan was incorporated in 1979 as Milkpak Limited. It started producing packaged milk in 1981.
In 1984, Milkpak acquired the Frost branded juice line from its parent company, Packages Limited. Milkpak Ltd further expanded its products with the launch of Milkpak butter in 1985 and a line of packaged cream in 1986.
In 1988, Nestlé acquired a controlling stake in Milkpak and subsequently it was renamed as Nestlé Milkpak Limited.
In 2015, Nestlé began delivering pasteurized milk to local homes in Lahore as a pilot project.
During the 1990s, Nestlé allegedly repeated controversial infant formula marketing practices in Pakistan. This first emerged in developing countries during the 1977 Nestlé boycott. A Pakistani salesman named Syed Aamir Raza Hussain became a whistle-blower against Nestlé. In 1999, two years after he left Nestlé, Hussain released a report in association with the non-profit organisation, International Baby Food Action Network, in which he alleged that Nestlé was encouraging doctors to push its infant formula products over breastfeeding. Nestlé has denied Raza's allegations. This story inspired the 2014 acclaimed Indian film Tigers by the Oscar winning Bosnian director Danis Tanović.
Between 2013 and 2017, a forensic audit revealed that Nestlé Pakistan extracted 4.43 billion liters of groundwater without significant payments to government departments. Approximately 1.9 billion liters (43%) of this water was wasted, with 28% of the wastage remaining unexplained. During Supreme Court proceedings, a sample of Nestlé’s bottled water was found unfit for human consumption. The company defended its operations, citing the Reverse Osmosis process as a source of some water loss, but the justification for the remaining wastage was deemed inadequate by the court.
