MILO History

MILO was developed in the 1930s during the depression when many children were not receiving enough nutrients from their daily diet.

Thomas Mayne, a NESTLÉ Industrial Chemist, created the nutritious beverage using local milk knowledge and Swiss cocoa expertise.

MILO® derived its name from MILON, a champion athlete of ancient Greek mythology. He was renowned for his feats of strengths some 600 years BC.

1950 - MILO® Tonic Food Drink was introduced in Malaysia as a Tonic Food Drink.

A glass of MILO and milk is a great source of nourishing energy. The combination of malted barley, 6 vitamins and minerals, and protein combined with other nutritious ingredients provides Goodness to Go.
