Nestlé Lanka continued its five-year winning streak at the prestigious SLIM-Kantar People’s Awards 2026, securing two major consumer-voted titles. The awards highlight the company’s deep-rooted presence in the food & beverage sector during its 120-year history in Sri Lanka. • Key Award Wins: Nescafé was voted ‘People’s Hot Beverage Brand of the Year’, while Maggi was named joint-winner for ‘People’s Snack Brand of the Year’. Both brands have maintained these titles for five consecutive years. • Local Economic Impact: The recognition underscores Nestlé’s significant contribution to the manufacturing landscape, with over 90% of its products produced locally at its Kurunegala factory.
