Nestlé is undergoing a strategic restructuring involving the divestment of its mainstream vitamins, minerals, and supplements (VMS) business, known as the Holistic Health platform. The company has agreed to sell this division, which includes brands such as Nature’s Bounty and Puritan’s Pride, to Yellow Wood Partners for $1 billion. CEO Philipp Navratil indicated the move is intended to focus the company on high-growth areas like coffee, petcare, and premium nutrition.

Simultaneously, Nestlé is expanding its presence in the Brazilian nutrition and health sector. The company has announced an investment plan of approximately CHF 310 million (roughly US$383 million) through 2028. A primary element of this investment is the construction of a new, highly automated infant formula manufacturing facility in Ituiutaba, Minas Gerais, scheduled to begin operations in the second quarter of 2028. This project, alongside upgrades to an existing facility in Araçatuba, aims to enhance manufacturing efficiency and strengthen the local supply chain.
