The latest data show the company reported total sales growth of 11% in the first nine months of 2022.
“Following a remarkable collective effort coming from our Nestlé Romania team, we are happy to announce a good start of the year, one we are proud of. In the first quarter we saw a 21 percent organic growth across our 10 Nestlé divisions, 7 of them having a double-digit growth. We continued our social responsibility projects, our educational projects, and our donations towards the Food Bank, where we reached 6.7 tons of Nestle products. We hope to maintain the same pace regarding business development and social responsibility, in order to enjoy together ten consecutive years of growth”, said Silvia Sticlea, Country Manager Nestlé Romania.
The portfolio of Swiss Nestlé Group includes brands such as Nespresso, KitKat, Joe, After Eight, Maggi, Purina and Nan. Nestlé had a turnover of RON1.1 billion in Romania in 2021, up 18% versus 2020, being engrossed in import and distribution operations on the local market. Nestlé Group currently has factories across all countries in the region, except Romania and the Republic of Moldova.
“Nestlé delivered strong organic growth in the first quarter, as our teams worked diligently to protect volume and ensure resilient mix. Portfolio optimization efforts and responsible pricing helped to offset the ongoing pressures from two years of cost inflation. Following a strong start to the year, we confirm our full-year 2023 outlook and remain focused on creating value for all stakeholders,” said Nestlé CEO Mark Schneider.
