Nestlé Milo chocolate malt drink

Milo is a popular chocolate and malt powder beverage that was originally developed in Australia during the Great Depression. Invented by Thomas Mayne in Sydney in 1934, it was designed to provide children with a nutritious, energy-boosting drink. The brand's identity is deeply rooted in Australian culture, characterized by its iconic green packaging and long-standing association with sports.

While Milo was born in Australia, it is now a global powerhouse owned by Nestlé, the Swiss multinational food and drink conglomerate. Today, it is manufactured in many countries across South East Asia, Africa, and South America to meet high regional demand. In Australia, the product continues to be manufactured locally at the Nestlé factory in Smithtown, New South Wales, primarily using Australian-sourced ingredients. Nestlé remains the ultimate owner, managing the brand through its global headquarters in Switzerland and its regional subsidiary, Nestlé Australia Ltd.
