About
Ferrero Group began its journey in the small town of Alba in Piedmont, Italy, in 1946, established by siblings Pietro and Giovanni Ferrero. What started in a humble pastry shop has blossomed into one of the world's largest sweet-packaged food companies, ranking amongst the top three chocolate manufacturers globally. Today, we pride ourselves on offering over 35 iconic brands, including Nutella®, Ferrero Rocher®, Kinder®, and Tic Tac®, that delight consumers in more than 170 countries. As a family-owned business, now in its third generation, our values of quality, excellence, and integrity remain at the core of everything we do. Our rich history is interwoven with innovation, from the development of Nutella in 1964 to our recent acquisitions of notable brands like Fannie May and Eat Natural. We are dedicated to responsible sourcing, sustainable practices, and community support, with more than 47,000 employees from over 145 nationalities working passionately to create unforgettable experiences. Our presence spans across the globe, with production plants in five continents, ensuring that our beloved products are accessible to families everywhere.
