                      Changes in Executive Board Announced


Vevey, 27 September 2004  -  Nestle S.A. announces that Mr. Michael W.O.
Garrett, Executive Vice President and head of Zone Asia, Oceania and Africa
(AOA), will retire from the Company at the end of April 2005 after a very long
and distinguished career spanning 44 years. Mr. Garrett started working for
Nestle as a marketing trainee in the UK and was subsequently assigned ever more
important functions in Asia and Oceania. In 1993 he was named Executive Vice
President, assuming responsibility for the fast-growing Zone Asia/Oceania. Since
1996, his responsibility was expanded to include Africa and the Middle East.



In its meeting of last week, the Board of Directors of Nestle S.A. decided to
name Mr. Frits van Dijk, presently Chief Executive Officer of Nestle Waters, as 
head of Zone AOA, from May 1st 2005. Mr. van Dijk joined Nestle in 1970 and spent
most of his career in Nestle's Asian markets. In September 1999, he took over as
Chief Executive Officer of Nestle Waters. He has been a member of the Nestle
Executive Board since 2002.



His successor at Nestle Waters will be Mr. Carlo Donati, who since 1973 has seen
his career with Nestle develop in three continents. Mr. Donati is presently head
of the South-Asia subregion, which includes India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. He
will take his assignment at Nestle Waters in February 2005 and will become
member of the Nestle Executive Board in January 2005.
