In their own words

“Ferrero was founded in Alba in 1946 by Pietro Ferrero, who knew how to create products that were appealing to consumers. Ferrero has experienced continuous growth under the leadership of Michele, his son. First in Italy, then in Europe and in the rest of the world.”

“Today, under the leadership of Giovanni Ferrero, the Group has consolidated its success with a turnover of over 12 billion euro, more than 30.000 employees, and 31 manufacturing plants across five continents. With its top brands like Nutella, the Group continues to expand and grow its portfolio through strategic acquisitions. Ferrero’s goal is and has always been to create unique, high quality products through innovative research and careful selection of raw materials.”
