In 1882, the company expanded into the United States, and built the largest factory worldwide in Dixon, Illinois which was the hometown of the Page brothers.

It's believed that he got inspired by the cows and the open plains to start a manufacturing plant targeting the European markets.

[2][3] In 1866, he and his brother, incorporated the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Co. in Cham, Switzerland with initially 100,000 Swiss Francs in share capital.

[4][5] The success of the Anglo-Swiss attracted countless imitators in Europe: by 1872, 25 more milk condensing factories had been set up.

[7][8] In addition, however, they also built their own factories in Europe, especially since the rising nationalism increasingly created protectionist barriers - around 1874 in Chippenham, England and Lindau, German Empire in order not to be able to be cut off from their target markets.
