Coffee mate coffee creamer

Coffee mate is a leading global brand of coffee creamer, originally developed as a non-dairy powdered alternative to milk and cream. The product was first formulated in 1958 and officially launched to the public in 1961 by the Carnation Company in the United States. It revolutionized the coffee industry by providing a shelf-stable, easy-to-dissolve product that did not require refrigeration.

In 1984, the brand's trajectory changed significantly when the Swiss food and beverage giant Nestlé acquired the Carnation Company for approximately $3 billion. This acquisition integrated Coffee mate into Nestlé's extensive global portfolio. Since then, the brand has expanded from its original powdered form into a massive variety of liquid creamers, concentrated liquids, and natural lines like 'Natural Bliss'.

Today, Coffee mate is produced in several locations to serve its global markets. In the United States, significant manufacturing occurs in Nestlé facilities such as those in Anderson, Indiana, and Glendale, Arizona. While it is a staple of American coffee culture, the brand is owned and managed by Nestlé S.A., headquartered in Switzerland, making it part of the world's largest food and beverage conglomerate.
