OUR COMPANY
Our roots lie in a small town in northern Italy but our vision and our future span the globe. Ferrero was founded shortly after the end of the Second World War with the goal of crafting moments of happiness by making chocolate more affordable for everyone. Starting with the creation of Nutella and Mon Chéri, we soon began transforming the confectionery world with our innovative ideas and iconic brands. And even as we grew from a local to a multinational reality, we’ve continued to put the consumer at the centre of our focus, cultivating an approach that is based on sustainability, quality and family values. Today, we continue to expand our world through research and new investments, new product categories, and new ways of working, without losing sight of what makes Ferrero unique.
Ever since the beginning, our profound care to the needs of our consumers has driven Ferrero’s success. Generation after generation, our products are crafted by the people who love them and who appreciate the philosophy behind them. We combine modern methods with a long-standing passion that permeates all stages of our value chain, from sourcing and product development all the way to our trade partners and the final consumer. With strong investments in innovation, a steadfast commitment to quality and the desire to create genuine moments of joy and spontaneity, we inspire the emotions of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Our culture is founded upon solid growth objectives, long-term vision and strong family heritage. Backed by an on-going commitment to consumer satisfaction, we are moving in a more global direction while balancing our presence in Europe and Extra-EU markets. At the same time, we are expanding our strategic scope, moving from chocolate confectionery products to sweet packaged foods.
