Milo energy bar

Milo is a popular brand of malted powder product and snacks widely recognized across Australia and Southeast Asia. Originally developed by Thomas Mayne in Sydney, Australia, in 1934, the brand has grown from a simple chocolate malt drink into a variety of formats, including the energy snack bars seen here.

The brand is owned and manufactured by Nestlé, a Swiss multinational food and drink processing conglomerate. While the Milo beverage powder sold in Australia is famously produced in Smithtown, New South Wales, the snack bar variants are manufactured across a global supply chain, often produced in Australia for the local market or imported from regional Nestlé facilities in Southeast Asia. Nestlé remains the ultimate owner, managing the brand from its global headquarters in Switzerland through various regional subsidiaries.
