Nestlé origins date back to 1866 when two separate Swiss enterprises were founded that would later form the core of Nestlé. In the succeeding decades, the two competing enterprises aggressively expanded their businesses throughout Europe and the United States. In September 1866, in Vevey, Henri Nestlé developed milk-based baby food and soon began marketing it.
The following year saw Daniel Peter begin seven years of work perfecting his invention, the milk chocolate manufacturing process. Nestlé was the crucial co-operation that Peter needed to solve the problem of removing all the water from the milk added to his chocolate and thus preventing the product from developing mildew. Henri Nestlé retired in 1875 but the company, under new ownership, retained his name as Société Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé.
The brand has been sold as Nestlé Pure Life since 2002. Prior to that it was known as Aberfoyle Springs and had been produced by the Aberfoyle Springs company since 1993. Nestlé Pure Life water is sold in Canada and the United States. After purchasing the Aberfoyle Springs brand and facilities in 2000, Nestlé changed the name first, in 2002, to Nestlé Pure Life Aberfoyle, and then to Nestlé Pure Life Natural Spring Water.
Nestlé Aberfoyle Springs plant currently bottles two different waters: the on-site Aberfoyle spring water, and spring water tankered in from Cedar Valley Spring in Erin, Ontario. In addition, spring water is botted on-site in Hope, British Columbia. In the United States, Nestlé Pure Life is a purified (filtered) water.
