"A Nestle Family Album"

(Factory whistle blowing)

(Background music "Sunny Side of the Street")

Located on land just north of the plant's current site, the Sunbury Cooperative Creamery was founded
in 1892. Later a new plant was constructed nearby. Horse-drawn wagons delivered milk to the plant and
distributed products throughout central Ohio. The Sunbury Creamery was famous for its products.
Milk, butter and cheese were among its mainstays. The tradition of the butter cow at the Ohio State
Fair was originated by the Sunbury Creamery, and its displays of creamery products were frequent award
winners.

In 1919 the Creamery was acquired by the Nestle Company of Switzerland. Famous for high quality infant
formula, Nestle introduced its production to the Sunbury plant.

(Background music "You're the Cream in my Coffee")

Sunbury's reputation for getting things done right, coupled with its close proximity to the Marysville
Research Lab, made it a natural choice for the production of new products. In 1939 the first production
of Nescafe in the United States came from the Sunbury plant.

(Background music "American Patrol")

During World War II production of K rations to support the war effort consumed the bulk of this plant's
capacity. Production goals were exceeded and as a result the people of the Sunbury facility were awarded
the Army/Navy E for excellence.

In 1946, Nestea was first produced in Sunbury. Numerous specialty products were added as the plant soon
found itself producing a wide variety of items. Production of coffee and tea continued throughout the
early 1960's until a new coffee product was introduced.

I'd like to tell you about the best coffee news in years. This is ground roast coffee the best coffee
you can make. This is instant coffee the fastest coffee you can make. They've always been this far apart
(motions with both arms spread out). Flavor (looks left), convenience (looks right). But now we've
finally brought them together with a completely new kind of coffee, Freeze-Dried coffee. The name is
Taster's Choice.

Now, what's freeze-dried coffee? It starts here, fresh from the percolator. We pour a perfect cup of coffee,
freeze it in a split second then vacuum away the ice. Dry, so not one bit of that flavor and aroma is lost.
There, you've got fresh brewed coffee, freeze-dried. All you do is put back boiling water and you have a cup
of coffee that looks like, smells like, tastes like your own fresh perked. Taster's Choice the Freeze-Dried Coffee

Try it.

In 1979 construction began on NTE, an all natural coffee decaffeination process that used coffee oil as a
solvent to remove caffeine from coffee. The process was commissioned in 1981. Following the commissioning of NTE,
employment at the plant reached an all time high of around 280 people. Twenty-five years after the first
case of Taster's Choice rolled off the line the freeze-dried process was shut down. Environmental concerns,
coupled with over-capacity and sagging sales led to this decision. In June of 1993 the decision was
announced to close the decaffeination facility also.

PEOPLE

For many years people have reported to work here. They have celebrated birthdays and retirements.
Shared good times and bad.

(Background music "I Remember You")

For over 100 years the people of Sunbury have been here, producing quality, working together. Our family
album is like that of any family, rich with memories. Friendly faces, friends, and most of all family.

(Factory whistle blowing)

(Background music "Too Marvelous for Words")

Our records are sketchy,
therefore the following list is not
entirely complete, but here is our
best effort at identifying those
people with which we have worked
over the past 102 years.....
