Nestlé’s household favourites emerged victorious once again at the SLIM-KANTAR People’s Awards 2025 taking home two awards. NESCAFÉ was voted People’s Hot Beverage Brand of the Year while MAGGI was the joint-winner for People’s Snack Brand of the Year respectively for the fourth consecutive year. Organized by the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM), the SLIM-KANTAR People’s Awards is widely considered as one of the most prestigious awards ceremonies in the country, rewarding brands and personalities that are closest to the hearts of Sri Lankans.

Loved by Sri Lankans for its distinct aroma and rich taste, NESCAFÉ is made with the goodness of 100% pure coffee beans to create great coffee experiences that make life better. Made using Sri Lankan spices and the finest ingredients, the tasty goodness of MAGGI noodles has been a household favourite by Sri Lankans for over 40 years.

Sharing his thoughts, Mr. Bernie Stefan, Managing Director of Nestlé Lanka said “Winning the People's Awards for the fourth-year running is a testament to the deep connection our brands have forged with Sri Lankan consumers. This recognition not only highlights the unwavering dedication and relentless efforts of the teams behind NESCAFÉ and MAGGI but also underscores our commitment to consistently delighting our consumers. We are truly humbled by these accolades and remain steadfast in our mission to deliver products of the highest quality. For over 118 years, we have prioritized the needs and preferences of our consumers, and their love, trust, and loyalty are instrumental in driving our success.”
