Nestlé focuses on suppliers

The majority of Nestlé Hungária Kft.’s external suppliers are Hungarian. Each year nearly more than 1,700 Hungarian SMEs provide the company with goods or services. In order to become Nestlé’s supplier, enterprises have to go through a strict selection process and pass an audit. For instance not only Hungarian paprika is used as seasoning in MAGGI products but also domestic pepper as fresh ingredient. In 2012 Nestlé’s European network purchased more than 100 tons of Hungarian seasoning paprika from a fully Hungarian-owned SME in Szeged. This year between 3 and 23 April those who buy two MAGGI products on the same occasion in SPAR or INTERSPAR stores will get a fresh Hungarian pepper for free – told Nestlé Hungária sales director György Sóskuti.
