Nesquik chocolate powder

Brand origin and history

Nesquik began in the United States in 1948 as "Nestlé Quik," a powdered chocolate drink mix; the product later launched in Europe in the 1950s and the global Nesquik name was adopted in the late 1990s. (nesquik.co.uk)

Product range and manufacturing footprint

Today Nesquik is a worldwide brand applied to powdered flavored milk mixes, syrups, ready-to-drink beverages, cereals and other chocolate-flavored products. Production occurs in multiple countries to serve regional markets; for example, the Nestlé Pontarlier site in eastern France is a long-established production center for Nesquik powdered cocoa sold across Europe.

Ownership and corporate details

Nesquik was created and is marketed by Nestlé; the ultimate owner is Nestlé S.A., a Swiss-headquartered multinational food and beverage company. Nestlé remains the global owner and marketer of the Nesquik brand while local production and distribution are handled through Nestlé’s regional subsidiaries and manufacturing sites.

Manufacturing country summary

Because Nesquik products are produced at multiple Nestlé facilities and by licensed/local manufacturing partners depending on the market, no single country exclusively manufactures all Nesquik products — the correct classification for manufacturing is "Multiple countries." (nestle.fr)

Practical note

Specific packaging (powder vs. syrup vs. ready-to-drink) and the target market determine the exact manufacturing site; regional Nestlé product pages and local packaging often show the factory/country of production for that SKU.
